Our Office

The University of Pennsylvania Sustainability Office is committed to climate action, social justice, community resilience, and well-being. We serve as a catalyst for transformational change across the University, within the Philadelphia community, at the regional level, and beyond. 

The Penn Sustainability Office seeks to: 

  • Create a campus that goes beyond carbon neutrality, embraces biophilia in the built environment, and serves as a hub for innovation. 
  • Encourage decisions at all levels within the University to be made with social and environmental impact as a priority.
  • Ensure that our local community, peer institutions, and other aligned organizations look to Penn as an exemplary partner in sustainability.
  • Enable faculty, staff, and students to collaborate to advance sustainability and climate action at the University and in the community. 
  • Empower Penn community members play a central role in creating a sustainable community that centers humanity and justice in balance with planetary needs.
