Criteria

Institution has a sustainability committee, office, and/or coordinator that are tasked by the administration or board of trustees to advise on and implement policies and programs related to sustainability on campus. 

The committee, office, and/or coordinator focus on sustainability broadly (i.e. not just one sustainability issue, such as climate change) and cover the entire institution.  A committee, office, or coordinator that focuses on just one department or school within the institution does not count for this credit. 


Applicability

This credit applies to all institutions.


Scoring

Institutions earn 3 points for having a committee, office, or officer that meets the criteria outlined above.  Partial points are not available for this credit. 


Measurement

Timeframe

Report on current sustainability committee composition and practices, office status, and/or coordinator position status.
