Office of Sustainability Practices

The Office of Sustainability Practices supports Grand Valley administration, faculty, staff, students, and community members to foster a culture of sustainability by designing and implementing programs, while supporting policies to encourage sustainable behaviors and responsible global citizen-stewards. Social responsibility, cultural values, economic prosperity, and environmental stewardship are the core values of sustainability, aimed at the preservation of society for future generations. The Office of Sustainability Practices helps to ensure projects are informed by sustainable best practices through advocating for awareness, education, and engagement in all topics related to sustainability, including water, energy, transportation, purchasing, and others.
