Bristol SU first in the country to boycott oil, gas, and mining recruitment Billy Stockwell Investigations Editor

ristol SU has passed a motion explicitly boycotting all oil, gas, and mining industry recruitment, making it the first Students’ Union in the UK to do so. The policy commits the SU to never
allow oil, gas, or mining companies access to SU-organised events, and bans them from any SU-controlled physical or digital spaces. It also commits the SU to supporting People and Planet Society's Fossil Free Careers campaign. This means that Students’ Union’s officers are mandated to actively campaign for the University of Bristol to adopt an
ethical careers policy that excludes oil, gas, and mining companies from all recruitment services offered by the careers department. This latest achievement comes in a long list of success stories at the hands of Bristol University's People and Planet Society, with the group successfully campaigning to get the University to divest from fossil fuel companies in 2018.
