Green Gown Awards 2016 – Sustainability Reporting – University of London – Finalist

The University of London Sustainability Report has been designed to be engaging, easy to read, navigate and very quickly and effectively get the key elements of the University’s sustainability performance across to the reader. Death to the long, boring PDF or printed document with endless text, turgid graphs and meaningless figures, this is about communicating sustainability quickly and effectively.

The last two years we have produced our Sustainability Report on Prezi, our 2014 report was read over 500 times and the 2015 report has been read nearly 1,000 times and the number continues to grow.

People have blogged, tweeted and shared the report leading to a much higher engagement with sustainability from our stakeholders than would be expected and enhanced reputation as result.
