PAE-2: Strategic Plan

Institution’s current, formally adopted strategic plan or equivalent guiding document includes sustainability at a high level.  The plan covers the entire institution. 

An amendment to the strategic plan may count for this credit, as long as the institution always presents the amendment with the original plan. 

Neither a physical campus plan (which is covered in PAE Credit 3: Physical Campus Plan) nor an independent sustainability plan (which is covered in PAE Credit 5: Sustainability Plan) counts for this credit. 

This credit applies to all institutions that have a strategic plan or equivalent guiding document.

Institutions earn the maximum of 6 points for including the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability at a high level in the strategic plan.  Partial points are awarded as follows:

• 2 points for including the economic dimensions of sustainability at a high level
• 2 points for including the social dimensions of sustainability at a high level
• 2 points for including the environmental dimensions of sustainability  at a high level
