What is Green Impact?
Green Impact has been designed to bring teams together to learn more about sustainability and raise awareness both of what LSE is up to, but more importantly, to enable staff to become more engaged with sustainability in its various forms. It focuses on continual improvement, collaboration and meaningful change.
Green Impact teams complete criteria from a themed workbook. Most of the criteria is left for teams to complete at their own pace across the academic year, but participating teams must have all their evidence uploaded by the auditing deadline in May each year, when auditing begins! At the end of the year teams are presented with their achieved award level at an awards ceremony. Click here for more information. Watch this 10-minute introduction video by the Programme Coordinator, and scroll down to find out more.
How can I take part?
1. Ask your Department/Division/Institute/Residence if they have an active Green Impact team you can join. If there's not an existing team then ask around to try and recruit an additional member or two! Click here to access the Green Impact site.
2a) Joining an existing team? Contact the Programme Coordinator, Kate, on sustainability.team@lse.ac.uk to be added to the Green Impact mailing list and Teams group.
2b) Starting a new team? Great! You will need to register that team by emailing Will on sustainability.team@lse.ac.uk, and we'll also add everyone to the mailing list and Teams group.
