Carbon sinks
Performance year | Baseline year | |
Third-party verified carbon offsets purchased | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Institution-catalyzed carbon offsets generated | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from on-site composting | 4 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Carbon storage from non-additional sequestration | 5 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | --- |
Carbon sold or transferred | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
Net carbon sinks | 4 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent | 0 Metric tons of CO2 equivalent |
If total performance year carbon sinks are greater than zero, provide:
We inventory and report the carbon sequestration from the on-campus trees through annual student-led inventories. We track organic waste diversion through aerobic composting.
The Scope 2 emissions are including 50% unbundled REC purchase per SIMAP and AASHE Guidance.

Number of students resident on-site | 4,725 | 3,280 |
Number of employees resident on-site | 20 | 26 |
Number of other individuals resident on-site | 78 | 0 |
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment | 15,983 | 13,923 |
Full-time equivalent of employees | 2,844 | 3,308 |
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education | 534 | 0 |

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Please note this is for Lakeside campus only. We use 2008 as our baseline. In the meantime Loyola has acquired two academic centers and just recently got financial control of our medical campus. In order to make comparisons from the baseline consistent, we track greenhouse gases for the new area and publicly report it; however we only do our comparisons from baseline for the two main campuses in order to maintain consistency and change over time.
We may revisit this in the future once we have a history of tracking but this would reset our baseline to 2016 or sometime in which we have comparable area and use.
