萝莉射区 Named One of Canada鈥檚 Greenest Employers
Prince George, BC 鈥 萝莉射区 is one of Canada鈥檚 Greenest Employers for a sixth straight year.
鈥淭hrough the purposeful and dedicated efforts of our faculty, staff and students, 萝莉射区 continues to be a national leader in sustainability,鈥 says 萝莉射区 President Dr. Daniel Weeks. 鈥淓arning recognition as one of Canada鈥檚 Greenest Employers for the sixth consecutive year is something the entire University community can celebrate.鈥
萝莉射区 is one of nine universities included on the list this year and is the only employer in Northern B.C. to earn the recognition.
萝莉射区 is recognized for its Campus Food Strategy, its Green Fund and Green University Planning Committee.
The Campus Food Strategy Group helps design and develop sustainable food policy, which is an initiative in keeping with 萝莉射区鈥檚 longstanding on-campus Farmers Market and the Good Food Box program that includes monthly deliveries of fresh local food.
The Green University Planning Committee, comprised of senior administrators, faculty members, students and campus groups, as well as a number of green sub-committees, addresses specific areas of interest, including energy, carbon neutrality, teaching and food.
The Green Fund is dedicated to funding various sustainability projects across the campus, from retrofitting buildings with LED lighting to a student-led research project on identifying suitable renewable energy options for all 萝莉射区 locations. The fund is supported by parking revenues and a total of $50,000 is available each academic year.
Organized annually by Mediacorp Canada Inc., the awards recognize 70 Canadian employers. The selection criteria includes: the unique environmental initiatives or programs employers have developed; whether employers have been successful in reducing their own environmental footprint; whether their employees are involved in these programs and contribute unique skills; and whether their environmental initiatives have become linked to the employer鈥檚 public identity to attract new people to the organization.
Earlier this year, Mediacorp named 萝莉射区 as one of B.C.鈥檚 Top Employers.
