Green Impact Students Unions

Green Impact Students' Unions is the flagship sustainability accreditation scheme and campaign delivered by Students Organising for Sustainability, helping students' unions to green their campus, curriculum and community.

Students' unions have been at the forefront of social and environmental campaigning. Green Impact provides a practical framework (achievable, measurable actions in an online workbook format) for greening students' unions, covering things like collaboration, campaigning and actions to improve how goods and services are ordered, biodiversity, and much more.

With over 100 students' unions taking part and being rewarded with an ‘Excellent, Very Good, and Good' award each year at NUS Awards, Green Impact is a great way to drive sustainability through your students' union.

In 2020/2021 Kingston Students' Union achieved 'Good' accreditation in Green Impact. Highlights from this year's Green Impact work include:

• Black Friday: Fast Fashion Talks
• 'Environmenstrual' Campaign
• Session Highlights of COP26
• Kingston Hill Allotment Project
• Drink Spiking Awareness Campaign
• Sustainable Food
