ESG Student Ambassador
The Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Student Ambassadors will support the work of the ESG Steering Committee in terms of realising our Sustainability Plan 2023-2027.
The first pillar of our Sustainability Strategy is all about succeeding for and with our students. In supporting this pillar, we are committed to developing a student sustainability plan, by creating a suite of small sustainability projects with students, aimed at increasing student sustainability engagement.
