Draft:Green Impact

Submission declined on 21 January 2026 by Lynch44 (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Green Impact is a United Nations award-winning programme^[1] designed to support environmentally and socially sustainable practice within organisations. It is an employee engagement model that was initiated in 2005 by then-student Anna D'Arcy and run by the National Union of Students (United Kingdom) (NUS). In 2019, the education charity Students Organising for Sustainability UK (SOS UK)^[2] took over the delivery of the programme on behalf of NUS.

The Green Impact programme has been used in over 2,278 organisations^[3] and has led to over 600,000 actions for sustainability being completed and verified by trained student auditors^[4]. The programme runs in various sectors, including universities and colleges, students' unions, businesses, local authorities, arts and heritage, and health. Examples are The University of Oxford^[5], The University of Bath^[6], London School of Economics^[7], University College London^[8] and for businesses on the Isle of Wight^[9]. The National Health Service and Royal College of General Practitioners sponsor Green Impact to run in Dental^[10] and General Practices^[11] across the UK.
