EN-4: Outreach Materials and Publications

As part of our efforts to engage the ACG Community, educate, and raise awareness about ‘Sustainability @ ACG’ and all related initiatives, we have a strong social media presence. We utilize most of the popular social media available in order to maximize the reach of our messages, especially in the student body who are avid social media users.

Signage is used around campus to highlight and inform our members about the following sustainability features on campus:
1. Green Roofs
2. New A class energy efficiency buildings (i.e. IB)
3. Center of Excellence for Sustainability
4. Recycling points with recycling tips
5. Signs at our catering partners' premises urging our members to start using reusable items in the context of our #ACGgoesplasticfree campaign, which aims to eliminate the consumption of single-use plastic items on campus
6. Signs over the new top-notch hydration stations. The main focus is to motivate our members to use a reusable water bottle on campus. The signs contain the motto "Reduce-Reuse-Refill" as well as the annual consumption of plastic water bottles on campus.

Sustainable Living at ACG
These guidelines aim to inform not only our students but also all members of the ACG community on how to follow sustainability best practices during their everyday life on campus. They are also informed on community contribution initiatives that they can volunteer for, as well as the college's wide sustainability-related campaigns i.e. "ACGgoes plastic-free, Reduce-Reuse-Recycle" etc.

The ACG Sustainability Pledge

The ACG Sustainability Pledge acts as a guide for green living by identifying several actions & behaviors that can help students become more environmentally, socially and economically responsible in everyday life, on and off campus. Alongside this material there is extensive information on waste reduction on the Sustainability@ACG website.

In order to engage the ACG members and, specifically, our students, we create video material where we place actual ACG students as the protagonists in real-life scenarios (e.g. ordering a plastic-free coffee). We strongly believe in the power of peer-to-peer education and that is very impactful for other students to watch their fellow peers engaging in sustainability best practices in these videos.
