About

Established in 2004 in the UK and Ireland, the Green Gown Awards recognise the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges. With sustainability moving up the agenda, the Awards have become established as the most prestigious recognition of best practice within the further and higher education sector.

The Green Gown Awards are administered by EAUC and each region are governed by a local cross agency steering group. The judging panel are representatives of sector organisations relevant to each region.

The Awards grow every year and have an increasing international presence - following the huge success of the UK and Ireland Awards, the Australasian Green Gown Awards were established in 2010 and the French speaking Green Gown Awards - Les trophées des campus responsables - were established in 2014.

2014 saw the introduction of the International Green Gown Awards allowing institutions from all across the world to be recognised for their efforts towards a more sustainable future. 

The images used throughout this site are from previous Green Gown Award winners, highly commended and finalists.
