Does the institution have a sustainability plan that meets the criteria for this credit?:
Yes

A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:

Our strategic, campus, and climate plans were all developed by our Campus Resource and Planning Committee in partnership with our campus assembly and its subcommittees. The assembly is a shared governance system, consisting of all UMM's faculty, the professional and administrative staff and selected students and other staff.


A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :

One of these goals was to pursue carbon neutrality and produce more energy than we consume.


A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:

At UMM, our Plant Services staff routinely measure our campus buildings energy and resource consumption. This number can be compared to the electricity produced by our two wind turbines and the heat provided by our biomass gasifier. Our commitment to actively monitoring our consumption versus our production has allowed us to closely monitor this goal.
