Estates and Sustainability

Glasgow Kelvin College is committed to delivering on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Environmental Sustainability. It recognises the role it can play in contributing to making the world a better place for future generations through both managing its own impact on the environment and, more importantly, ensuring that the College has a positive impact on the behaviour and attitudes of its students and others it engages with throughout their lives and careers.

The College is delighted that its efforts have been recognised as a UK and Ireland Green Gown Award winner over numerous years, including winning the 2023 category of Next Generation Learning and Skills.

Kelvin College received further recognition for its ‘Fighting Fast Fashion’ project by winning the International Green Gown Award in 2024. This prestigious honour and the accomplishments of the College was highlighted on the BBC.
