As you are all aware, UBC has a very specific commitment to sustainability on campus.
At UBC, sustainability is not just a word to define – it’s a word that defines us. Through our collective efforts in education, research, partnerships and operations, UBC advances sustainability on our campus and beyond. Our goal is to commit, integrate, demonstrate and inspire.
UBC is one of Canada’s Greenest Employers and in order to maintain that designation, there are several programs and initiatives that staff can get involved in to contribute towards campus sustainability! Here are just a few examples:
Sustainability Coordinator (SC) Program: The SC Program provides UBC staff members with opportunities and resources to promote and implement sustainable practices in their departments.
Employee Sustainability Guide: As employees, we all have a lot we can do to contribute to the culture of sustainability at UBC. The Employee Sustainability Guide will help to make green choices throughout the day.
Xerox Sustainability Fund: This fund awards Sustainability Coordinators with up to $1,000 to support sustainability initiatives in their units.
These are just a few of the various programs and initiaitives. For more information, check out https://sustain.ubc.ca/get-involved/staff
