Guided by our mission of educating leaders for business and society, we have developed a Sustainability Action Plan that encompasses new initiatives and ongoing efforts through 2030. The plan builds on the school's long-held commitment to improving the world.
Sustainability Action Plan
“SOM’s Sustainability Action Plan 2030 (SAP) reflects the school’s values and provides a guide to the school’s growth and development as a leader in sustainability.”
Highlights
- Built environment: Install solar panels on the roof of Evans Hall
- Climate action: Aim to reduce SOM’s carbon charge by 15%
- Mobility: Encourage expanded use of public and active transportation
