Green Impact Award

Green Impact is a sustainability accreditation scheme run by NUS offering an independent benchmarking of a union's sustainability performance. The award challenges Students' Unions to follow environmental best practice and keep sustainability in mind while achieving results for students. The Green Impact Award also seeks to capture the positive sustainability innovations in students' unions and promote them to the public.

The purpose of GISU is to encourage, nurture, reward, and crucially embed sustainability across the activities of a students' union. For decades students' unions have been at the forefront of social and environmental campaigning.
