Sustainable footprint

GOAL

Integrate environmental and social considerations into the procurement process across all University business endeavors, including auxiliaries.

PROGRESS

Working on developing sustainability language for contracts and services and educating the campus community on environmentally preferred products.

In 2023, 100% of CSUSM's total expenditures on technology were EPEAT certified, meaning each item meets environmental performance criteria that addresses: materials selection, supply chain greenhouse gas emissions reduction, design for circularity and product longevity, energy conservation, end-of-life management and corporate performance.
