They choose the focus of their work each year and can work with the University Sustainability Team to achieve their aims. For example in 2018 the EEO supported the University’s full divestment from fossil fuels, and in 2019 they developed a social media competition to encourage SU societies and sports teams to put sustainability practices in place.<\/p>\n The EEO sits on the SU sustainability committee and is supported by the SU CEO, who is responsible for the overall performance of the SU on sustainability.<\/p>\nJoin the Green Team Society<\/h3>\n
