Sustainability

Laurentian University is committed to fostering a strong culture of sustainability. In 2009, our President and Vice-Cancellor signed the Council of Ontario Universities pledge, Ontario Universities: Committed to a Greener World. By signing this pledge Laurentian University accepted responsibility to: "to assist in finding solutions to the challenges of environmental sustainability; to share knowledge about sustainability and climate change; and to incorporate, wherever possible, principles of sustainability into our own operations".

 

Sustainable initiatives at Laurentian University are driven and achieved by faculty, student and staff engagement and collaboration. Our mission is to promote environmental stewardship for the campus community in the hopes of continuously building a sustainable future to learn, work, live and play.
