SCU's Strategic Plan's Foundational Commitments include a goal to "Position Santa Clara toward becoming a climate-positive university" by reducing the University's carbon footprint and employing sustainable operational practices in procurement, waste management, water use, and landscaping.
SCU's Sustainability Strategic Plan, Leading Through Laudato Si' Energy goal outlines our roadmap to reduce carbon pollution by driving down energy use through conservation and efficiency, decarbonizing our purchased energy and investments, and improving sustainable transportation options for our students and employees.
Each year, the Center for Sustainability conducts a greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Santa Clara University using SIMAP (Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform). Thank you to the following SCU departments for providing information for our Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories: University Operations, Facilities, International Programs, and the University Finance Office.
