A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Sustainability Implementation Steering Committee is a group of faculty and staff that helps advance the direction of the Yale Sustainability Plan 2025. In 2019, it was determined that there was an opportunity for the creation of subcommittees around key topic areas, to advance work in areas of particular importance to the university: plastics, inclusion and justice, and health & well-being. Each of these subcommittees is composed of both faculty and staff who have expertise in the topic area, and working at the intersection of the academic and operational leads to robust and actionable work. Some examples include an LCA on single-use plastic utensils; a pilot process to explore decision-making around mass transit as more equitable and responsive to more neighborhoods and Yale stakeholders; and a well-being survey to assess the five domains of well-being.
