Happy 1 year of working in the UoL Sustainability team to me! 🥳 If one thing is for sure, working in HEI Sustainability teams is no walk in the park (although we advocate for students and staff to do exactly that!) It’s full-on and challenging because the work can never be completed, there is always more to be do: but that’s part of the reason it fills me with purpose. Some highlights include; · Conducting awareness and behaviour change campaigns to engage students and staff on waste, and sustainable living. · Designing new waste signage that is in the process of being rolled out across the University to help improve ease of recycling. ·  Working on a “team identity” branding, and seeing it come to life on our engagement stands with students and staff. ·  Working with different teams on multi-channel communications and projects. Collaboration is at the heart of embedding sustainability. … and on a personal note, all whilst managing an anxiety disorder which at times makes work challenging. But it’s going in a good direction. 😊 Bring on 2025, it's shaping up to a busy year!

*INSERT ATTENTION SEEKING HEADLINE HERE* (sorry, we used all our creativity for the carousel) As time is flying by and we are busy with our 'side hustle', our university studies, the date of the Erasmus Sustainability Days is quickly approaching. So we thought its time for a kind reminder, where we could put, the well know expression [ACTION REQUIRED❗️]. If you are interested in industry leading companies, such as PwC, Philips or ABN Amro and you would like to get the chance to connect to their colleagues, then signing up for their events via the link is just the perfect activity for you instead of scrolling through your LinkedIn feed and looking at the pompous posts of others. (we put the link to the end of the post, but here is a cute seal so you forgive us 🦭) If you want to position yourself as an antagonist to traditional companies, then we suggest you check out the programs with the World’s first Floating Farm 🐄 or with The Ocean Cleanup 🐳. Our friends at the Erasmus Sustainability Hub were so successful, that in our post we cannot even cover all the events and companies participating in the ESD, so we advise you to check out their LinkedIn page and website as well. 👀 Don’t forget, some of the events have limited spots available! https://lnkd.in/d6fhPEKG

Sustainability is fundamental to NTT DATA, from our overarching corporate strategy, and for each of our teams around the world. We put sustainability by design into our software and technology solutions and are addressing our own carbon footprint. As such, we’ve been working in partnership with Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd and The R&A, to pioneer efforts to encourage spectators to The Open golf Championship to make sustainable travel choices. This collaboration is part of our broader strategy to help address environmental sustainability in sports. Take a look at our latest video where Bill Wilson, Chief Sustainability Officer at NTT DATA UK&I discusses the significant role that sports fans play in contributing to a greener planet. We also hear from Libi Newell, Head of Corporate Sustainability at The R&A as well as Nicole Koenig-Lewis, Professor of Marketing and Andrea Collins, Senior Lecturer at the School of Geography and Planning, at Cardiff University on the impact of everything from using water refill stations to choosing public transport, all aimed at reducing our collective environmental footprint. Our efforts extend beyond just advocacy; they involve

Yesterday, in celebration of National Sustainability Day, we welcomed sustainable companies to campus and hosted a talk titled "Collective Sustainability: How Each of Us Can Make a Difference." ♻ Our students had the opportunity to engage with these organizations, exploring their contributions to a sustainable future in Portugal and reflecting on the importance of both collective and individual actions in fostering a sustainable society. 🙌 Get to know more about this event and the companies that were present in our new article. #catolicalisbon #businessschool #studentlife #studyinlisbon

"How did you get started in event sustainability?" It's a question I often hear that doesn't have a one-size-fits-all answer. Like choosing a career path, navigating the journey towards event sustainability is filled with twists and turns. Honestly, my journey has been anything but linear. Likewise, finding your footing in event sustainability requires exploration, experimentation, and a willingness to learn. Most of us go through the same learnings: → What sustainable materials can be used → Building a network of green suppliers → Figuring out who the sustainability champions are → Finding a place to start → Learning how to measure And now, I'm a passionate advocate for sustainable events, too. So, let's rethink the idea of having green events all figured out from the word 'Go'. Instead, let's embrace the journey, knowing each experience brings us closer to our goals.
