“It was a very positive experience that allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and managed to teach me a lot about sustainability.” Student Auditor, 2021

“I particularly enjoyed working with students that I otherwise would likely never have got the chance to meet. Green Impact has given me the chance to work with students collaboratively and they bring so much to the project such as their social media skills, creativity and enthusiasm. </p> <p>It's always lovely to offer our students the opportunity to go to the awards ceremony and be involved in the celebratory side of things.” Helen Goodwill, Greener Goodricke<br /> University of York

“Green Impact plays a vital role in helping our team achieve our sustainability goals by offering a structured approach. It provides resources, tools, and support to identify areas for improvement, set targets, and track progress. It’s also great to see other teams within the University contributing and how they are placing within the leaderboard. Through our Green Impact work, our team morale has improved as we work towards a common goal of sustainability. Additionally, our reputation has been enhanced, attracting environmentally conscious clients and partners who value our commitment to sustainability.” Katie Lewis, The Venue@DMU, De Montfort University
