Sound Impact Bronze Award

For the second year in succession Oxford Brookes Students' Union are the proud winners of a Sound Impact Bronze Award. The Award recognises environmental and ethical best practice within students' unions. The SU also achieved a Bronze Award last year, although the criteria were tightened this year and it is now considerably harder to achieve Bronze and therefore our award does in fact represent an overall improvement in our environmental and ethical practices.
A big thank you to everyone at the SU who has contributed to the award this year, whether you have submitted evidence of best practice or have just been a little more conscious regarding sustainability whilst going about your normal work. A special thank you to Suzette Starmer who has been the lead manager on the award from when the SU first signed up to the scheme and has really been a key player in driving the progress of our E&E work, particularly surrounding this years refurbishment works.

Also, James Robertson and Helen West both made considerable contributions to get this years evidence workbook ready for the NUSSL audit. Finally i would like to thank the University, specifically Lucy Millard for her support with a number of E&E issues throughout the year which included providing a wealth of evidence for our Sound Impact Award submission.
