A brief description of the institution’s assurance process:

Concordia's STARS application was reviewed by Karen Oberer, the Sustainability Officer at McGill University. Concordia in turn had reviewed McGill's STARS application in November 2020.

Concordia had McGill review its application in May 2021 as the original deadline for Concordia's STARS submission had been June 2021. The Academic, Engagement, Planning and Administration and Innovation credits were reviewed at this time. Concordia's STARS deadline was extended until December 2021 to be able to include sustainability initiatives/projects planned for Fall 2021 and allow stakeholders for certain Operations credits more time to collect data.

The feedback provided in the first round of review was incorporated into Concordia's STARS application. A second round of review for AC, EN, PA and IN credits and a first round of review for Operations credits was performed in December 2021. Again, necessary adjustments were made to the credits based on the comments provided by Karen. A second review of Operations credit was then completed.
