Green Office Hogeschool Utrecht

The Green Office informs, activates and participates in sustainability within the institution.
Founding story
The University of Applied Sciences had a sustainability programme for over three years already. As part of the programme, a centre of expertise was launched, a strategic plan formulated and sustainability projects in operations and education initiated. When the programme ended, the ambition was to continue with sustainability, but in a more engaging way. The Green Office was then established in 2016 to inform and activate students and staff to participate in sustainability.
Organisation
As the graph below shows, the team consits of 6 student employees (paid 8 hours per week) and 1 staff coordinator known as “The Green Officer” (16 hours per week). The Green Office works with volunteers ad-hoc.
