Sustainable development 2021-2022

3.8 #SaveEnergy Campaign Faced with the disastrous rate of climate and the current energy crisis, ULiège launched the #SaveEnergy campaign in October 2022 to make its community aware of a few simple but essential actions to reduce energy consumption. As part of the follow-up to this campaign, a team of students working at the Green Office was trained by the ‘energy and environment’ unit of the Property Resources Administration (Administration des Ressources Immobilières (ARI)). From December onwards, they took the #SaveEnergy campaign into the field, touring the buildings to talk to the university community and raise awareness of good practices in common areas. They were also invited to identify certain pieces of ‘energy-intensive’ equipment. They also went to rooms where heating issues had been reported to measure temperatures and check whether the problem was related to a blocked thermostat. They were also able to provide users with explanations on the proper use of thermostatic valves and advice adapted to the reality of the situation the users were facing in order to make energy savings by reminding them of simple gestures. The current context requires a collective effort in which everyone can concretely participate. 3.9 HEC S’LAB A new service platform has been created at the HEC Liège School of Management: the S’LAB To achieve its raison d’être, the ecological and social transition, it unites the members of the HEC community and encourages them to position themselves as actors of change. It integrates and disseminates the research expertise developed at HEC Liège on the sustainable transition trajectories of companies. It informs and raises awareness within the community. It provides managers with tools to develop regenerative and distributive business models and to understand the ethical issues and trade-offs related to ecological and social transition trajectories. In 2022, with its ‘Des têtes bien vertes ?’ (Green Heads) action, the S’LAB involved the HEC community in a collective intelligence process: how to integrate and manage the transition within HEC and improve the students’ career paths? These brainstorming sessions resulted in working groups, which in turn defined several priority projects. Thus, from 2023, and in close partnership with the ULiège Green Office, cohorts of ‘Transition Ambassadors’ made up of HEC students and staff members will be formed, with a view to mobilising the community of this pilot faculty for the transition: their missions will be to promote and accompany the realisation of the ‘sustainable development’ challenges developed by the Green Office and to promote the sustainable actions specific to HEC Liège. 22 | ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT ULIÈGE | 2021 – 2022 23 | ANNUAL REPORT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT ULIÈGE | 2021 – 2022
