Humber has been integrating "Sustainability into Everything we do" for many years now. We have been named one of Canada's Greenest Employers 2016, a Smart Commute Gold Workplace two years in a row (2015 & 2016), and just recently earned a second Silver level rating from the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) put on by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE).
We are currently in year 3 of the 2014-2019 Humber Sustainability Plan. A new committee structure which includes the creation of a Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC) has been developed to ensure that we will continue to progress toward our goals. The SSC's primary mandate is to be a cross-institutional advisory body to the President, Executive Team and the entire college, that provides integrated, collaborative, evidence-based advice to ensure Humber's commitment to sustainability is reflected in planning and decision-making across the college. The SSC is responsible for the execution of the goals set out in Humber's 2014-2019 Sustainability Plan, as well as leading the development of future campus sustainability activity.
Members: The SSC is a cross-functional team of representatives from across the college. The SSC Terms of Reference commit members to a set of guiding principles that reflect the values and interests of the Humber community. Members will rotate over time. Current Members:
