Sustainable Office
Making your office more sustainable is an excellent way to reduce your impact on the environment and introduce colleagues to ways we can all be more sustainable in our daily lives.
Sustainable Office Certification
Are you curious about sustainable opportunities for your office? Are you unsure what actions to take in your workplace for the biggest sustainable impact? The Sustainable Office Certification is for you! This program will help you assess your current practices, identify targeted actions to improve your level of sustainability, and ultimately earn a rating (from Bronze to Platinum) and public recognition for your efforts! The self-guided form will allow you to identify opportunities, benchmark against other workplaces, and connect to resources. We’ve updated the program to be more department-driven and easier to update.
You define your workplace (an area that shares common areas and resources). It may include just one or all workspaces within a unit. All sizes are welcome to participate.
Once the form is submitted, an OCS staff member will work with you to assess next steps to achieving your sustainability rating.
