How Greenwich University’s Strategy is Building a Culture of Sustainability
Simon outlined how Greenwich University’s sustainability strategy is centred around widespread engagement as well as behaviour change. Staff and students are encouraged to take action through climate training, in addition to strategic communication campaigns, supported by Team Jump. Furthermore, Green Champions, an internal sustainability committee, and partnerships with HR, Estates, and the Students’ Union ensure that sustainability is embedded throughout the university.
Driving Impact Through Technology and Data
A cornerstone of Greenwich’s approach is its Team Jump platform, Green Rewards. This digital tool allows members to track sustainable actions, earn rewards, and access learning resources. By integrating activities linked to employability, wellbeing, and carbon reduction, the platform has helped engage over 1,600 members and save more than 50 tonnes of CO₂e.
Simon also explains how data insights from the platform help the university tailor initiatives to different faculties. This is another way that he ensures the strategy stays relevant and effective.
