Well done Cranfield University after being 'Highly Commended' in the
‘Continuous Improvement: Institutional Change’ category by EAUC at the
prestigious Green Gown Awards Ceremony held in Derby last month.
One of 53 universities to reach the final stage of this year’s Green Gown Awards, Cranfield was nominated for its application ‘Cranfield Green – practising what we teach’. The comprehensive campaign implemented over the last five years at Cranfield, involving both staff and students, focuses on reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.
Gareth Ellis, Cranfield Energy and Environment Manager said: “We are delighted that we have been recognised for the very real progress we have made over the last five years. Our carbon reduction performance since 2008 has been excellent with a 24% reduction. This year we have set more comprehensive environmental targets, introduced a Fairtrade policy and developed a sustainable travel plan. We can now say we practise what we teach.”
Now in their 9th year, the Green Gown Awards recognise the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK
