Furman University
PAE-2: Strategic Plan

Furman’s strategic plan, Vision 2020, includes the following section describing the university's commitment to a holistic understanding of environmental, social, and economic sustainability: “The pursuit of sustainability is an important global imperative. We have a moral obligation to be good stewards of the earth for future generations. The universities of the world are appropriate leaders in encouraging the pursuit of scientific advances, and wise political and cultural policies, in the collective quest to ensure a sustainable planet. Furman is justly proud of all that it has done in the pursuit of sustainability in our management of our University and as an educational and service goal, including our leadership and ongoing pursuit of the goals set forth in the national President’s Climate Commitment. The Shi Center is, in substance and symbol, a recognition of these ongoing efforts. As the political and business leaders in the greater Greenville area continue to place a high priority on sustainability, Furman will be well-positioned to contribute to the prosperity and quality of life in the community by partnering with local business, political, and civic organizations to advance the community’s broader sustainability goals. Furman’s ongoing commitment to sustainable practices in the management of its own landscape and facilities will remain a governing imperative.”
