Sustainability in the Office


SCU is commited to improving sustainability in our campus offices. Quarterly workshops are provided to promote sustainability in the workplace and to give staff and faculty the tools and information they need to green their offices.

 
  • leahdeskmdSOAP

    The Sustainable Office Assessment Project supports staff and faculty who wish to "clean up and green up" their workspace. SOAP provides quick tips regarding easy sustainable behaviors focusing on energy conservation, waste and paper reduction, as well as strategies for departmental moves.
    SOAP also provides the knowledge and research power to help SCU employees make important (but sometimes time-consuming) decisions regarding policy changes in their offices.
