Sustainability training is available as a professional development course through the Human Resources Organization and Professional Development program. In this one day workshop, "Making the Workplace More Sustainable," participants learn about sustainability goals and initiatives at UNC, including the Three Zeros Environmental Initiative, to achieve water neutrality, zero waste, and greenhouse gas neutrality. The program helps employees become leaders in their workplace by learning practical steps to become more economically, environmentally, and socially responsible. The workshop helps participants identify, measure, and promote sustainable change opportunities in their area.
Attendees learn how to host green events, purchase more socially- and environmentally-responsible products, and adopt practices that advance sustainability at Carolina. The workshop helps staff identify and promote UNC-specific opportunities related to sustainable purchasing; energy; transportation; water; waste reduction; events; and health and wellness. A strong focus of the current workshop is on “recycling right.”
