The HZ Green Office is formed by a team of enthusiastic students from HZ University of Applied Sciences. We are passionate about sustainability and want to bring a change to the world! We organise different events and projects aimed to make our school and local environment more sustainable. We won’t have you sitting inside a classroom, but we provide you with real-life experiences, often organised outside in the open air.
Join us!
Meet students from different study programmes and varying cultural backgrounds, and have fun whilst doing good!

Our Mission, Vision and Goals
Our Mission: Our aim is to be the facilitating body in connecting people with sustainability by building and strengthening our community around action-based initiatives that generate a positive impact and inspire others.
Our Vision: HZ Green Office aspires to become a living lab that encourages its diverse student body by design to be the sustainability leaders of tomorrow.
Our Goals:
- Walk the talk: HZ GO! stimulates internal stakeholders to act as role models (being part of our role in renewing/improving the social fabric of society)
- Aid the HZ University of Applied Sciences in their goal of incorporating the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)
- Strengthen our shared values by cultivating the local sustainability community and connecting people throughout Zeeland
- Offer students practical and hands-on experience through our projects and activities
The HZ Green Office informs, connects, and supports students and staff to act on sustainability. At the same time, we develop our own ideas to embed sustainability in education, research, or the operations. Our goal is to build and strengthen our (international) student community, connecting with each other around action-based sustainability initiatives that generate a positive impact and inspire others.
