At Carleton, we fully acknowledge the important role we have to play in developing the environmental and sustainable stewardship of our own academic and operational spheres of influence. We also have a distinct role to enable all our students to have the skills and knowledge to make positive sustainable change. In order to achieve these aims, the university will ensure that sustainability is applied as a driver that delivers wider strategic goals, whilst also enabling our decisions and actions to deliver on sustainable outcomes.
