• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle;
• limit development to disturbed areas;
• ensure compact efficient footprint;
• be pedestrian friendly;
• practice active and passive green building design;
• use local and sustainable resources;
• respect heritage designation;
• anticipate, lead and support Ministry of Advanced Education and B.C. Government sustainability goals;
• incorporate sustainability in all learner programs;
• support sustainability research and incorporate this in our community engagement initiatives;
• reduce overall carbon footprint, and
• be fiscally responsible (Royal Roads University, 2008a).

Royal Roads University has gone a step beyond offering incentives to faculty to design sustainable courses by stipulating they do so as a requirement of their employment, and by doing so Royal Roads University attracts professors who have previous interest and experience with sustainability instruction.
