Green Week 2024

Welcome to Green Week! From 18 to 22 March, join us for a series of engaging events dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability. As a cornerstone of our Green Strategy, Green Week offers a diverse array of activities across different campuses, from litter picking and wildflower planting.

"Green Week is a vital annual event that empowers our students to become stewards of our planet. It's more than just a week of activities; it's a catalyst for change, fostering awareness and inspiring action towards a sustainable future. Through Green Week, we cultivate a culture of environmental responsibility and nurture the leaders of tomorrow who will shape a greener, more resilient world."
- Riikka Vihriala (Group Head of Strategic Projects)
