Does the institution have policies and/or programs in place to reduce emissions from air travel?:
A brief description of the policies and/or programs:
In 2010, UBC Supply Management and the Campus Sustainability Office launched an updated version of the UBC Sustainable Purchasing Guide, which includes a section on Business Travel to encourage staff to make low-carbon travel choices. A travel and expense subcommittee has also been formed to upgrade UBC's expense reimbursements system to capture and report carbon emissions from air travel and to provide feedback to staff on their climate impact.
