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 interdisciplinary concept that requires sustainable practices between the natural environment, social equity, and economic vitality. The interconnection and future implications between these three aspects are understood through sustainability. To better understand the concept and the linkages, read about the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how Purchase College utilizes the 17 goals to promote a more sustainable future. The College has invested not only in our students’ future, but also in society’s future by focusing on sustainability measures.
