The use of Palm oil has been in the news again recently, some of you may have seen the controversial advert from the supermarket Iceland. What you may not be aware of is an ongoing University of the West of England project which is exploring the current position of the university on palm oil and aims to create the first in-depth sustainable palm oil policy of any UK university.
The EAUC are running a webinar at 1030 on the 20th of November and are pleased to confirm that The UWE Students’ Union former Sustainability Officer Amy Staff and Assistant Vice Chancellor James Longhurst will delve into the story of palm oil, and will discuss how HEI’s across the UK can be supported to implement their own sustainable palm oil policy.
The webinar is open to all (Non EAUC members can create a temporary account), is free and can be booked here. If you are unable to make the date/time, the webinar will be recorded, and we will share a link to that as soon as it is available.
