UCL IEHC celebrates Green Impact Silver Award
24 August 2023
For the first time, the UCL Research Department of Epidemiology & Public Health (UCL EPH) has been presented with a Silver Award at the UCL 11th Sustainability Awards Ceremony.
UCL EPH has been striving to demonstrate positive environmental impact and support UCL’s Sustainability Strategy. Through the dedication and hard work of the Green Champions, the research department has been recognised for its commitment to creating and maintaining a sustainable workplace.
To achieve this, the department engaged colleagues with green issues through a series of actions, including:
- Purchasing copy paper which has 100% recycled content
- Promoting UCL's Cycle and Walk resources to staff and students
- Reminding staff to unsubscribe from paper-based junk or spam mail, or mail that is no longer read
- Encouraging staff and students to take the stairs to reduce energy consumption in the building
- Implementing a collection point for used toner cartridges which are re-used or recycled by the supplier
Over 200 staff and students from all corners of the university, both online, and in person, attended the UCL’s Sustainability Awards Ceremony. The event was a celebration of our community members who enhance the sustainability of UCL.
UCL EPH’s Green Champion is Floriana Bortolotti - please reach out if you're interested in Green Impact.
