Beds strikes gold in national educational environmental award scheme
Mon 19 March, 2018
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV has been awarded Gold in the EcoCampus award scheme, a national Environmental Management System (EMS) which allows universities to be recognised for addressing key issues of environmental sustainability, including carbon reduction and recycling.
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV's Head of Sustainability Adam Higgin said: “We were awarded Silver last year and have now progressed to Gold which is testament to the commitment and support the whole Â鶹´«Ã½AV has shown for this project.
“We are delighted to achieve this and are now working towards Platinum accreditation in time for Go Green Week next year.â€
To gain Gold the Â鶹´«Ã½AV was externally audited against a number of criteria backed up by hard evidence. The Â鶹´«Ã½AV's carbon emissions have reduced by 36 per cent over ten years.
All of our new buildings are BREEAM excellent – the world’s leading sustainability assessment method.
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV also moved from 124th place in the People & Planet Â鶹´«Ã½AV League in 2009 to 6th place last year.
The Green League is the only comprehensive and independent league table of UK universities ranked by environmental and ethical performance.
