MyAV·¶ EPH has been striving to demonstrate positive environmental impact and support MyAV·¶â€™s Sustainability Strategy. Through the dedication and hard work of the Green Champions, the research department has been recognised for its commitment to creating and maintaining a sustainable workplace. 

To achieve this, the department engaged colleagues with green issues through a series of actions, including:

  • Purchasing copy paper which has 100% recycled content
  • Promoting MyAV·¶'s Cycle and Walk resources to staff and students
  • Reminding staff to unsubscribe from paper-based junk or spam mail, or mail that is no longer read
  • Encouraging staff and students to take the stairs to reduce energy consumption in the building
  • Implementing a collection point for used toner cartridges which are re-used or recycled by the supplier

Over 200 staff and students from all corners of the university, both online, and in person, attended the MyAV·¶â€™s Sustainability Awards Ceremony. The event was a celebration of our community members who enhance the sustainability of MyAV·¶. 

MyAV·¶ EPH’s Green Champion is Floriana Bortolotti - please reach out if you're interested in Green Impact.
