University releases first annual sustainability report

November 18, 2024

The University of Windsor has released its inaugural Annual Sustainability Report, showcasing its commitment to environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic sustainability.

The 27-page report highlights key achievements, including a 36 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since the University's 2019 baseline, bringing the institution closer to its goal of becoming a carbon-neutral campus by 2050, and innovative research addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

"The sustainability report captures the impactful strides the University community has taken toward a more sustainable future," says president Rob Gordon. "By setting clear goals and fostering campus-wide engagement, the University aims to reduce its carbon footprint, promote responsible investment, and embed sustainability across operations and academic programs."

The report is organized into three sections: Annual Sustainability Report, Responsible Investing, and Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures Report, with achievements guided by the newly launched Sustainability Framework. Notable initiatives include waste diversion efforts, community partnership engagement, and academic projects focused on sustainability topics.
