Sustainability Initiatives

We don’t just talk about sustainability - we take action. Check out some of the ways we're reducing our environmental impact and creating a positive impact on our community.

Working Toward Zero Waste

Our sustainability practices:

  • Robust Recycling

    We recycle cardboard, metal, paper, glass, and accepted plastic products, and we recycle uncommon items—such as batteries and printer cartridges—wherever possible.

  • Local Sourcing

    We partner with local vendors and businesses to bring quality ingredients into our dining hall. We purchase produce that is sustainably sourced from local farms, whenever possible.

  • Proactive Prevention

    We use tracking and forecasting tools to proactively identify food waste trends in order to alter our preparation accordingly.
