Vending, Sustainability and Fairtrade Product Survey.

Collaborating with Volunteering Week, Ecoversity ambassadors are conducting a survey about our purchasing habits with regard to Fairtrade products on campus. The results of this survey will inform the University regarding what you want to see on sale and next steps the University can make to ensure we cater for your needs.

Enter the prize draw to win a box of Fairtrade chocolate by helping Ecoversity to find out what you think of the University’s Fairtrade status and what you see as sustainability. Winners will be contacted direct.
