Environmental & Social Sustainability

Be Green

The University of Winnipeg is committed to sustainability in all of its policies, operations, programs and activities. In 2006, we introduced a set of environmental sustainability policies that are progressive and comprehensive in scope and depth anywhere else in Canada. We also recognize the importance of social sustainability, and are committed to conducting research and implementing new procedures and professional development materials for initiatives across the University.

Make a Difference

Over the past few years, we have been steadily working towards fostering an increased sense of global citizenship and environmental responsibility within our university community. We encourage all university students, faculty, and staff to take individual action to reduce harmful impacts on the environment.
