Annual Progress Reports

Penn Sustainability presents its annual reports based on data and metrics gathered from across many academic and administrative units at Penn. These reports provide comprehensive, graphic, and concise presentations of progress on the seven initiatives outlined in the University’s Climate Action Plan:

  • Academics
  • Utilities and Operations
  • Physical Environment
  • Purchasing Practices
  • Waste Minimization & Recycling
  • Transportation
  • Outreach and Engagement

With these sustainability reports, Penn is not only sharing progress on our Climate Action Plan goals, but also providing public, transparent reporting of our sustainability initiatives.
