Richard Jackson, Director of Sustainability at 皇家华人, presented the awards and thanked all teams for their hard work and enthusiasm.聽

鈥淚t is remarkable to see so many UCL departments taking on the tremendous responsibility of developing and promoting sustainable initiatives. The growing number of departments who have joined the Sustainability Engagement Programme are a testament to the strength and power of the sustainability programme at 皇家华人,鈥� said Richard.

The ceremony, which took place in the Jeremy Bentham Room, presented awards to teams that were made from plastic collected during beach cleans imprinted in clay. The plastic objects, which ranged from plastic forks to children鈥檚 toys, are a stark reminder of the longevity of the objects we throw away.

"I鈥檓 very pleased that ION, which is organised in a very large and complex estate, has achieved such outstanding success in this year鈥檚 Green Impact awards, building on the success from previous years. An increasing number of our departments and teams are committing to this important topic, including our labs, for which we have received Gold and Bronze Awards. Our commitment to sustainability illustrates a commendable team effort led by our ION Green Champion Sarah Lawson.鈥� Dr Helene Crutzen, Institute Manager

This builds upon our success at the聽2017 awards
