- the Executive Leadership Team
- ISP Task Force
- Deans' Council
- University Planning Committee
- Associate Dean’s Research Council
- General Faculties Council
- Environment, Health, Safety + Sustainability Committee (BOG)

A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :

Largely aligned with STARS, the ISP includes goals, ley performance indicators and multi-year targets for each performance category, an initial set of key actions in more than 17 areas, as well as accountabilities for each vice president.


A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:

The Office of Sustainability is responsible for reporting including high level quarterly reporting to the Board of Governors subcommittee for Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability as well as more comprehensive annual progress updates. The University of Calgary completed its first STARS submission as a Charter Participant in 2011 and this current submission will be our second. Outcomes from STARS are utilized in the Institutional Sustainability Report report, the first of which we published last year. The 2012-13 Sustainability Report is currently being developed for publication this fall, and like the first, it will follow the Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines.
