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.
