Sustainability
The sustainability of our event matters to us and these are the positive steps we are taking to manage our environmental impact:
- All staff and volunteers are encouraged to travel to the event via public transport
- We have used local suppliers where possible
- Event programmes are all online, minimising paper use
- We are beginning to track our carbon footprint across BUCS events to identify areas of improvement.

- Be self-sufficient by bringing your own refillable bottles and coffee cups to reduce waste.
- Ensure you are disposing of waste correctly – Check around the venue for specific recycling and food waste bins.
- Travel smarter – as a team on a minibus, cycle or use public transport.
- Go paperless - use your phone for all event information
