Our Commitment to a Greener Future
The HZ Green Office is actively dedicated to improving sustainability on the campuses and beyond. From community engagement to innovative green initiatives, we are committed to taking meaningful action for the climate. Whether this is organising marches, supporting green mobility, or cultivating gardens, we strive to create a positive environmental impact.
Taking Climate Action Together
Climate and Justice March
In November 2023, members of the HZ Green Office joined over 70,000 people in Amsterdam for one of the largest Climate and Justice Marches in Dutch history. Together, we raised our voices to demand urgent climate action and social justice, highlighting the need for collective efforts in combating climate change.
Community Clean-Ups
One of our most impactful activities is organising regular clean-ups in Middelburg and Vlissingen. By removing waste from local areas, we not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also inspire others to join in making a difference. Small actions, like picking up litter, can collectively create a healthier community.
Gardening & Campus Greening
The Green Office maintains two gardens, one at the HZ campus and another at the APV Student’s Campus in Vlissingen. These green spaces are a source of organic produce, with berries, trees, herbs, and so much more. Our gardening sessions offer students and staff an opportunity to connect with nature, unwind, and learn about sustainable growing practices.
We also partner with "Meer Bomen Nu!" (More Trees Now), a national initiative promoting reforestation and urban greening across the Netherlands. Our efforts include planting trees around the HZ campus to enhance green spaces.
Green Mobility: Moving Towards Sustainable Transport
HZ Green Office supports the use of bicycles as a sustainable, healthy way to get around. Through our partnership with GoAbout, we provide access to 50 shared bicycles, which are easy to use via a mobile app. This initiative promotes biking as an eco-friendly alternative to car travel, reducing CO₂ emissions and encouraging a more active lifestyle.
Bakfiets – Our Eco-Friendly Cargo Solution
To transport materials for events, we use our trolley bike, the Bakfiets. This bike allows us to move event supplies without the need for cars, which further reduces our environmental footprint.
Linking to Sustainable Development Goals
Our initiatives align with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
