A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
The Sustainability Practices Network (SPN) - referenced earlier - participated in the development of the Sustainability Practices Strategic Plan for the University. Outlining how the organization intends to achieve four goals: Carbon Neutrality, Zero Solid/Water Waste, Active Engagement and Principled Practice.
A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :
Goal One - Carbon Neutrality - Campus to be Carbon Neutral for Scope 1, 2 and non-transportation Scope 3 emissions by 2025; Carbon Neutral for Scope 3 transportation emissions by 2035.
Goal Two- Zero (Solid/Water) Waste - To facilitate implementation, sub-goals for solid waste and water waste are addressed separately.
Goal Two A – Zero Solid Waste - Eliminate 90% of campus solid waste stream by 2015.
Goal Two B - Zero Water Waste – Reduce water consumption by 50 percent or eliminate 100 percent of campus water effluent by 2020.
Goal Three - Active Engagement - Achieve 60 percent documented engagement by members of the campus community by 2015.
Goal Four- Principled Practice - Integrate Sustainability Practice Principles in 80 percent of campus operations and functions.
A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
Annual benchmarking ( such as, tonnages for solid waste, gallons for water), data captures on signature projects (such as, gallons of water diverted through Central Plant water recapture program).
