The Sustainability Champion Award is open to both staff and students at a tertiary education institution. It will recognise people at any level who have worked hard at implementing a sustainability project/initiative (or several) and whose involvement has made a positive impact be that on their peers, their institution, their students, their local community or their local workforce. A key criteria is actions that have been taken over and above the normal requirements of people’s jobs. Hence, for people with significant sustainability responsibilities, e.g. environmental managers, the Award will require evidence that any actions have created extraordinary results that are widely recognised beyond their institution.
Applications must provide evidence of impact, and of good leadership/championing practice in engaging and inspiring others. Individuals cannot apply themselves but (with their consent) should be nominated by a manager or peer (within or outside the sector).
