Our 10,000 Actions programme, the UK’s largest environmental sustainability initiative for staff in higher education, has been shortlisted in the Sustainability Project category of the Guardian University Awards.

The initiative, one of our social responsibility signature programmes, supports staff by giving them the chance to learn and take action on sustainability at the University.

An online tool has been developed, based on the University’s own research and experience, to enable all staff to develop a personal sustainability action plan.

Environmental Sustainability Manager Lucy Millard said: “10,000 Actions has greatly increased our staff engagement on sustainability and it is great to see our impact recognised at a national level. Over the summer we will be launching new, more interactive, software for 10,000 Actions as well as providing new actions to engage staff further with sustainability.”

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Tuesday, 24 April in London.
