A brief description of the institution’s green event certification program:
The Colgate Oak Event Certification program is an initiative created by the Office of Sustainability to promote environment-friendly, socially responsible, and sustainable events on campus. Every year hundreds of events are hosted on Colgate's campus - from guest speakers to academic conferences. Imagine if each of our events reduced or eliminated waste and sourced food and materials from socially and environmentally responsible suppliers. The Oak Event Certification program was designed to help you achieve this goal. Our program provides consultation and resources aimed to assist event planners with actions that help reduce our ecological and carbon footprints.
