Jefferson utilizes a vendor policy that sets expectations about the social and environmental responsibility of with whom the college does business. To ensure products that conserve energy, are recycled and sustainable are purchased at the college, a Green Purchasing Policy has been implemented at Jefferson. When determining whether a product is environmentally preferable, all phases of the product’s life cycle are considered, including: raw materials acquisition, production, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, operation, maintenance, disposal, potential for reuse and ability to be recycled. In addition, employees are counseled and educated at the time of request of the benefits regarding purchasing sustainable products. Environmental and social considerations are taken with equal weight to the price, availability and performance criteria that colleges and universities use to make purchasing decisions.
Jefferson has a ban on styrofoam as well as we purchase energy star equipment and sustainable practices from our catering vendors.
