Committee








Sustainability

Sustain-a-ball

The 2024 Pembroke May Ball hopes to be more sustainable than ever. Sustainability in the Ball will be addressed in key areas such as energy usage, material waste, transportation, food and drink and overall event emissions. This committee position aligns with a student-driven, university-wide drive to make all May Week events more environmentally conscious.
To commit ourselves to minimising the footprint of our event as much as possible, we have taken a Sustainability Pledge and are actively participating in an accreditation scheme set up by the sustainability consultancy Sustain-a-Ball to assess the sustainability of our event through an independent audit.
