Sustainability and the environment
To be “sustainable” is the development of processes or systems that help to create a vibrant campus economy and high quality of life while respecting the need to sustain natural resources and protect the environment. Sustainable programs are those that support our commitment to environmental, social and economic health, commonly called the “triple bottom line” or the “sustainable sweet spot”. From procurement to plate, our sustainability efforts compliment these touchstones in everything we do.
