Sustainability

WSU’s Plan

Washington State University is committed to improve its performance in sustainability in all areas of operations to meet the needs of current generations without impairing the ability to meet the needs of future generations. Washington State University will develop appropriate systems for managing environmental, social, and economic sustainability programs with specific goals, objectives, priorities, and processes.

WSU is preparing students, staff, and faculty to proactively deal with the environmental, social, and economic challenges facing humanity.

Washington State University reaches well beyond its physical campuses. Through research and extension centers and offices present across the state, no matter the locations, the university continues its growth in sustainable operations and research.
