The Office of Sustainability is excited to welcome you to ESF! We, and the entire College, are committed to fostering a culture that understands the power of actions and the impact on the environment and our planet.

At ESF, we believe that every individual can and should play a part in creating a more sustainable future. Our goal is to empower students, faculty, and staff to serve as sustainability advocates and champions. We have a robust set of sustainability goals, from plastic reduction and zero waste/circularity to carbon neutrality and energy reduction to education and engagement campaigns to sustainable built environments to wellness and belonging. We are actively working to create a positive impact on our campus and world.

We are focused on our actions in the present and shaping future leaders who will be part of the collective change to create a more just and regenerative future. Please follow us on Instagram (@ESFsustainability) and join our sustainability email list.

We hope you notice the sustainable features around campus to encourage our community to be environmental stewards. Stay tuned for updates about upcoming events, workshops, and ways to get involved. You will find so many opportunities at ESF. Welcome!
