可持续行政中心: 采购
采购 is a critical part of sustainability. Our purchasing decisions determine which businesses are financially supported by newbb电子平台 budget resources and reflect the values of the University. 在理想的情况下, those purchasing decisions will simultaneously benefit our people, 我们的星球, 以及我们地区的繁荣. Our sustainable purchasing guidelines and our student-created triple bottom line cost-benefit analysis tool are resources that can be used by newbb电子平台 students and 工作人员 to evaluate their own purchases.
的 可持续性 Project Laboratory is a database of sustainability-related project proposals. This resource hosts projects and project ideas that can be adopted by 教师, 工作人员, 还有学生的课程项目, 顶点或高级项目, 论文, 和更多的.
To find procurement related projects just type "procurement" into the search bar at the top of the database.
的 Association for the Advancement of 可持续性 in Higher Education (AASHE) is currently revising its 可持续性 Tracking, 评估 & Rating System (STARS), which newbb电子平台 uses to measure its sustainability efforts. 你可能 view a draft of the proposed updates to 采购 guidelines.
