Does the institution have a sustainability plan that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:
Stanford's Sustainability Working Group and Sustainability Working Teams, both organizations comprised of faculty, staff, and students, worked to develop a common set of principles for sustainability at Stanford (http://sustainable.stanford.edu/principles). Formal plans for each sustainability topic area are either complete or in progress by individual Sustainability Working Teams.
For more information, please visit:

A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :
In pursuing its academic mission, Stanford University is committed to being a leader in the research, teaching and institutional practice of environmental sustainability. The university is therefore committed to following core sustainability principles in all facets of planning and operations so that Stanford can lessen its environmental impact, ensure a healthy community and contribute to global solutions. Targeted policies and practices—as well as individual, everyday actions—are essential to realizing the university's vision of incorporating sustainability into every aspect of campus life.
Although each Sustainability Working Team sets its own goals for specific topic areas, a common set of principles was established and can be found on the Sustainable Stanford website (http://sustainable.stanford.edu/principles).
Ongoing goals and results for each sustainability topic area can be found on the area-specific "What We Are Doing" pages of the Sustainable Stanford website (http://sustainable.stanford.edu/what_we_are_doing).
A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:
