SUU Green Office Program

The SUU Green Office Program is a semester-based challenge that supports faculty and staff in making everyday office practices more sustainable. Offices earn points from actions they take, from reducing energy use to rethinking office supplies. Participation focuses on measurable progress, with every action contributing to SUU’s campus-wide sustainability efforts.

Whether your office is just getting started or already doing great work, the Green Office Program is here to recognize your efforts and help you keep building momentum!

Awards

The office that gets the highest score each semester gets to hold our Greenest Office Trophy Terrarium to show off. As well we are working on getting more tiered awards for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Green Offices from SUU Outdoors, the SUU Greenhouse and more! Offices that earn Bronze, Silver, Gold or Green Offices will also get a certificate to show off their ranking!

During Finals week the ranks will be updated and awards will be given!
