Our Story
Green Impact was born from a simple idea: students have the power to transform their universities into beacons of sustainability. What started as a small group of passionate environmental advocates at a handful of universities has grown into a nationwide movement.
Since our founding in 2008, we've worked with over 150 universities across the UK, engaging more than 25,000 students in meaningful environmental action. From pioneering campus recycling programs to leading successful fossil fuel divestment campaigns, our members have consistently proven that student voices can drive institutional change.
Today, Green Impact stands as the largest student sustainability network in the UK, providing the tools, training, and community support that empowers students to tackle the climate crisis head-on. Our work has prevented millions of tons of CO2 emissions, diverted thousands of tons of waste from landfills, and inspired countless students to pursue careers in environmental sustainability.
