BeCause

We're trying to make things better. BeCause it matters.

What is BeCause?

Our take on corporate social responsibility is straightforward: we're trying to make things better.

Because we care about our community and the world, we try to operate in a sustainable way, minimising our impact on the environment. We stand up for equality and diversity. If we think carefully about the social and economic impact of our work, we know we can make a difference.

BeCause we should continue and celebrate our good work!

The BeCause Showcase - a free celebration event of all our BeCause work- was well attended by University of Sheffield staff and students, with many inspiring presentations. It included a call to action for all of us to make energy-saving behaviour (such as the Arts Tower Blackout) the social norm at this University.

There was also praise for the achievements of Green Impact teams. Share in the success- Get involved in Green Impact this time around!
