Take on the Sustainability Mark!

Sustainable Surrey have joined forces with the Surrey Students’ Union to provide your societies and clubs with the Sustainability Mark awards! 

Published:

The Sustainability Mark is an annual sustainable awards scheme for societies and clubs. It provides you with five sustainable actions to take to reduce you society or club’s negative environmental impacts. It also provides you with the resources you need to make a positive difference to sustainability at the University, as well as in the local community. 

Actions include encouraging your members to live more sustainably, and running society/club activities in a more environmentally conscious way. Complete all 5 actions and your society/club will receive a Sustainability Mark at the Union and Colours Ball.
