Enhancing Sustainability: Metrics for Driving Environmental Performance

This document outlines the metrics for assessing our organization's sustainability efforts, focusing on waste recycling, CO2 emissions, and comparisons to our environmental targets. It examines the current practices, such as the availability of compost bins in kitchens and the efficiency of building designs. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is central to these efforts, facilitating continuous improvement. The involvement of stakeholders, like the Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee (ESAC), is crucial for refining these metrics and ensuring organizational commitment to sustainability.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Metrics How are we doing? (How much waste is being recycled, how much CO2 are we emitting, how do those Compare to our targets?) What should we do? (Are there compost bins in every kitchen area? Does our building design process ensure that new buildings will be highly efficient?)

  2. Metrics are a component of an EMS (Environmental Management System) “An EMS is a continual cycle of planning, implementing, reviewing and improving the processes and actions that an organization undertakes to meet its business and environmental goals.”

  3. Who am I? Marilyn Ostergren

  4. CAP metrics – focused on driving emissions down (Climate Action Plan) ESS metrics – to show value of the Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability office Sustainability metrics (?)- capture everything else

  5. Areas of sustainability

  6. BEHAVIOR

  7. formal metrics already in place

  8. Facilities & Finance

  9. We also measure some things that are not formally tracked as metrics

  10. EXAMPLE: distance food travels

  11. ….and we’re prompted to measure/report by external requests

  12. Consistency across report requirements:

  13. Process of identifying metrics

  14. Discussion What does ESAC want to hear about the process? How does ESAC want to be involved?
