Does the institution make available training and/or other professional development opportunities in sustainability to all staff at least once per year?:
A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
In collaboration with the Purchasing Department, the Office of Sustainability hosted the first annual UNCG Buy Green Expo from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11th. Over 150 UNCG staff came by to see vendor exhibits, product demos, green purchasing services and to learn how campus dollars can be spent to meet sustainability goals. The event presented an opportunity for buyers on campus to speak with reps from the following vendors: Staples, Office Depot, Forms & Supply, Fastenal, Grainger, Campus Surplus, and Correction Enterprises.
The UNCG Office of Sustainability has updated its UNCG Green Office Certification Program. Version 2.0 provides education to staff about how to reduce the resources used in their work environments, with specific attention on those who work in offices.
Areas that the program focuses on now include:
* Energy and Water Conservation
* Waste Minimization
* Materials Management (e.g. green purchasing and recycling)
* Meetings and Events
* Participation (e.g. transportation, engagement)
