Our Mission

We’re a group of UCL students concerned about the climate crisis and the lack of sustainability action at UCL and beyond.

So we founded the Sustainability Council, working with the Students’ Union and the Sustainability Officer, to address the often-overlooked role of banks in climate change. And now we’ve partnered with the UK Student Sustainability Council to spread the campaign nationally.

We aim to raise awareness about the environmental impact of banks, and give students the knowledge to evaluate their banking choices. We run campaigns, workshops, and advocate for sustainability within UCL. We ran a workshop at the Sustainability Leadership Conference and we’ll be back for Fresher's Week.

Our goal is that as students move away from environmentally harmful banks, those banks will stop funding fossil fuels to avoid losing their future customer base. Also, universities will feel pressure to align their banking practices with the values of their students.
