UCEM was recently audited by students for its National Union of Students (NUS) Responsible Futures reaccreditation effort. With several students and apprentices at our Reading-based HQ, it provided a great opportunity to sit down and speak to them.

Here, UCEM PR and Social Media Manager, Andrew Belt, spoke to UCEM’s Research Assistant – Education & Sustainability, Antonia Lindsay, and Chartered Surveyor apprentices, Rebecca Thurman and Harry Bowen from Arup, about the audit and the group’s thoughts on sustainability and why it matters.
