Economic Development Forum:Pursuing Environmental Sustainability in Large Organizations

June Program
Pursuing Environmental Sustainability in Large Organizations: Case Study of the University of California System
 
A presentation by Matt St.Clair
Sustainability Manager for the University of California's Office of the President
 
The University of California, with its $23 billion annual operating budget, 180,000 employees and 230,000 students, would be the 100th largest national economy in the world if it were its own country. UC’s environmental footprint and impact is large, but so is its educational footprint. UC launched a system-wide sustainability program in 2004 to reduce its environmental impact while making its campuses into living laboratories for sustainability solutions. This talk will evaluate the commitments and results of UC’s sustainability program over the past decade.
 
With:
Matt St. Clair,
Sustainability Manager,
University of California Office of the President (UCOP)
