As the alliance for sustainability leadership in education, the EAUC positions itself as a member-led organisation that disseminates information, facilitates networking, and actively stimulates the sector through the implementation of national initiatives. Our membership spans over 200 colleges, universities, funding councils, and company members and seeks to exemplify best practice in order to manifest a shared sustainable future. The Sustainability Exchange (www.sustainabilityexchange.ac.uk) is just one among numerous projects delivered by the EAUC. It offers the first sustainability information portal, created with the support of top sector organisations. The EAUC administers the Green Gown Awards, which recognise the exceptional sustainability initiatives undertaken by universities and colleges. For more information on the Green Gown Awards, visit www.greengownawards.org. EAUC also delivers the Sustainability Leadership Scorecard, a comprehensive, planning and self-assessment tool specifically for colleges and universities to improve their social responsibility and environmental performance through a whole institution approach.
