UCC's An Taisce Green Flag Application
Transparency is one of the core values of UCC’s Green Campus Programme. Our sustainability activities are assessed by a number of third parties and all of the information is freely available online. The university reports annually to An Taisce on Green Campus activities and every three years a full reassessment is undertaken with an external panel of experts. UCC’s full reassessment to An Taisce UCC-Green-Campus-Award-Renewal-2016.pdf and Annual reports to An Taisce are also available for UCC-Green-Campus-Annual-Renewal-2018.pdf
