LMU's Auxiliary Management and Business Affairs continues to work with campus departments, vendors, suppliers and partner businesses to incorporate environmentally and socially responsible business practices. To operate a fully functional institution, LMU enters contracts with companies that provide services such as food, construction, janitorial, apparel, paper products and coffee. The university has been educating our contractors of the standards they must comply with such as paying a fair living wage, practicing environmental stewardship and providing sweatshop free apparel. All of the companies that we have worked with have adapted to our higher standard and the effect is not only felt on campus but in the larger global business community as socially just practices are becoming more widely accepted/
