Simultaneously, the CBS Campus Sustainability Programme wants to include campus users in the green conversion of campus. Thus it will be possible for campus users to register minor projects to be implemented continuously.
The project is led by CBS Campus Services and was launched in 2020.
CBS Campus Sustainability Programme has an ambition to prioritise and ensure synergy between initiatives based on ‘green cases’ which evaluate potential projects as to their impact on the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability.
