The Green Gown awards recognise sustainability innovation and leadership in post-16 education across the UK and Ireland and last night, we were honoured for our bold and impactful approach.
This year’s awards saw 112 finalists from 76 institutions shortlisted, with 23 winners and 24 highly commended awards announced at a ceremony at the Library of Birmingham on the evening of 6 November.
We were named Sustainability Institutions of the Year, alongside De Montfort University, representing large and small organisations respectively.
The judges were impressed by our commitment to reaching net zero by 2030, underpinned by our bold approach to removing fossil fuels from its buildings, embedding sustainability throughout everything we do, and having an impact on our local community.
We were particularly commended for making a difference in a disadvantaged area, having consciously focussed on sustainability initiatives that improve lives.
