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.

How can you help at this event? Here’s some ideas:

  • 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
