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.
