Everything green and in between at Purchase College.
Sustainability at Purchase College
The College recognizes its privilege as part of the State University of New York system and consistently builds on exemplary sustainable operations in compliance with New York State Executive Order 22.
Sustainability is a complex concept that includes the interdisciplinary practices of social equity, economic vitality, and environmentalism to ensure ecological balance for all. To better understand this concept and their linkages, read about the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SUNY Purchase utilizes the SDG global framework to promote green alternative operations. The College has invested not only in our students’ future, but also in society’s future by focusing on sustainability measures.
As SUNY Purchase commits to maintaining New York State environmental goals, the College explores implementing institution-wide green initiatives that empower community members and campus operations to stay eco-minded.
