The policies, guidelines, and/or agreements with the institution's business partners (or a representative sample):
The Assistant Director of Administrative Financial Services, Kelly Pinney-Michaud, works with preferred vendors on a case-by-case basis to ensure they have more sustainable products and services for the College. Additionally, all of Colby's vendors are required to follow OSHA guidelines and reporting. Environmental or sustainability initiative discussions have occurred with 12 out of the 13 preferred vendors in order to lessen the environmental impact of the College's products and services.
In regards to wages, and other requirements of contractors, the College does not have an official policy governing their employee wage and working condition standards. All of the College's preferred vendors have long-standing relationships with the school and meet these requirements, but this is not a formal policy and we do not require reporting in these areas.
