Yes

A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the environmental dimensions of sustainability:

Both the plan and UB 2020, the institutional strategic plan
behind it, are guided by the overarching mandate of “sustainability”
– understood not just in terms of care for the natural
environment, but as a matter of generating economic prosperity and ensuring social equity as we protect the ecosphere. The plan looks toward the “triple bottom line” in which ecological
and social accounts are as important as economic ones, and it moves forward on all three fronts simultaneously.
