Celebrating the 2023-24 GISU Winners and Highlighting Student Unions’ Outstanding Contributions 

18th July 2024

Participation in Green Impact Students’ Unions (GISU) showcases how Students’ Unions (SUs) and Students’ Associations (SAs) are actively leading sustainability action in 2023-24, representing and responding to their students. This year, 32 SUs and SAs engaged with the programme, displaying remarkable dedication and enthusiasm for sustainability. Among these, 19 unions achieved the prestigious ‘Excellent’ award. This is an impressive accomplishment for the student movement, and we congratulate all those involved!

The GISU programme, supported by a comprehensive online toolkit of 52 sustainable criteria, enabled union teams to plan and track their sustainability action. This toolkit covered 10 union-specific areas, ensuring a holistic approach to sustainability. Throughout the year, 1,360 positive sustainability actions were completed by participation unions.

The next cycle of GISU (2024-25) will commence early in the new academic year, with the toolkit going live in late August. We welcome both new and prospective unions to join us this year, as well as those who have participated previously.
