Sustainability Label

Despite the increased awareness for sustainability within the university, ‘becoming more sustainable’ might still sound rather vague to many. This is no different for study associations, and despite growing interest into becoming more sustainable, truly applying sustainability measures in policy and operations can be tricky. 

This is why LUGO has, taking inspiration from the green office of Delft, developed their own sustainability label. The sustainability label is a checklist, divided in categories with points allotted to them, used to measure how sustainable a study organization is. The study associations can fill in this checklist on the LUGO website and award themselves the relevant amount of points (which will be checked by the LUGO members).  Twice a year (In March and November, exact dates to be decided) participating associations might be awarded a label. This label can be bronze,  silver or gold depending on the score of the association. This label can be used to show companies or (coming) members that sustainability is being integrated into your study association.  

The sustainability label aims to provide the board of study associations with implementations useful to becoming more sustainable and to provide some structure and reward to the process. The criteria will be updated every academic year, therefore the label also only applies to the current academic year.
