Criteria

Institution covers sustainability topics in new employee orientation and/or in outreach and guidance materials distributed to new employees, including faculty and staff. The topics covered include multiple dimensions of sustainability (i.e. social, environmental and economic).  


Applicability

This credit applies to all institutions.


Scoring

Institutions earn the maximum of 1 point available for this credit when sustainability topics are covered in orientation and/or outreach and guidance materials that are made available to all new employees. Incremental points are available based on the percentage of new employees that are offered orientation and/or outreach and guidance materials that cover sustainability topics. For example, an institution that offers outreach materials that meet the criteria to 50 percent of its new employees would earn 0.5 points (half of the points available for this credit).
