What is Green Impact?
Green Impact is produced by SOS UK (Students Organising for Sustainability) and it is a checklist for Universities and Unions to be doing to be as environmentally friendly they can be. The categories for this are: Knowledge and Understanding, Leadership and Strategy, Partnership and Policy, SU Operations, Campaigning and Influencing, Outreach and collaboration, Self-defined criteria and outcomes. We as Aberystwyth Students Union can then be scored bronze, silver, or gold depending on how much we are able to get done. We have already made some great changes and are planning some amazing things to come.

Why are we doing this?
“After the amazing results of Green Impact last year, I want to build on all the progress the Student union has made, to ensure that we have the same results as last year. The main objective of Green Impact is to develop the Union’s opportunities to be more sustainable. Green impact gives clear guidelines that can be followed and helps direct the Union on the best way to do things and make change. The events and schemes that benefited students last year came from Green Impact and these are going to be continued this year. Green Impact doesn’t only focus on environmental sustainability, but it also focuses on the growth of the union and ways to help students such as substance awareness."
