Kent Sport is committed to reducing its environmental impact. To this end we are one of many departments at the University of Kent that have signed up to the Green Impact project and more information on the University involvement may be found here. The University of Kent is a participating partner is this project.
Kent Sport has participated in the scheme in previous years and at the time of writing we have just submitted a workbook for the Green Impact assessment. We aim to make this a continuing process.
Our initial activities centre around:
- Reducing energy consumption – utilising power saving features of newer devices
- Reducing paper consumption – duplex printing and other initiatives
- Reducing usage of heating and air conditioning – posters and education are helping here
- Recycling – everything we can! (paper, cardboard, batteries, bottles, cans etc.)
- Many other smaller initiatives
Participation in this project inspires ongoing improvement to our environmental credentials. If you are reading this and you think you may be able to help, please contact us.
