  • Yale University Athletics Sustainability Action Plan March 2016
    Yale University Athletics Sustainability Action Plan March 2016 Sustainability at Yale Yale University is dedicated to an integrated, comprehensive approach to policy and operations that balances ecosystem health with human health and economic viability in order to demonstrate that sustainability is both feasible and affordable. To accomplish this goal the University integrates sustainable practices into the fabric of institutional decision-making at all levels. Each unit on campus has a unique cultural context. Successful implementation of sustainability goals will rely on efforts to refine tools and tactics to suit this diversity of disciplines and perspectives. Figure 1: sustainability values This Document As a component of leadership and capacity building, the Yale Sustainability Strategic Plan commits to establish and implement a sustainability action plan for Athletics. The plan is intended to support the Yale-wide goals while reflecting the operational contexts of Athletics. This document offers overarching language about sustainability at Yale and indicates goals from the Yale Sustainability Strategy Plan 2013-2016 that are particularly relevant to Athletics. It then suggests a brief set of initiatives related to the operations and mission of Athletics. The Office of Sustainability will communicate with key staff members throughout Athletics on a regular basis to follow progress on the Action Items below and update this “living document” accordingly. Yale 2013-2016 Sustainability Strategic Plan The Yale 2013-2016 Sustainability Strategic Plan contains 25 ambitious-yet achievable goals divided into five categories: energy and greenhouse gas emissions, natural and built environment, materials management, food and well-being, and sustainability leadership and capacity building. Several of these have sub-categories, as demonstrated in Figure 2.
