  • Sustainability

    With two dedicated full-time sustainability staff members and five student interns in the Office of Sustainability, Bentley University is equipping it students to tackle environmental challenges as future business leaders. Every year since 2012, Bentley has reinvested a small percentage of savings from energy efficiency projects into offsite wind power via the purchase of Green-E certified renewable energy certificates. The wind power purchase is helping Bentley achieve its 2015 GHG reduction goal of 50 percent (against a 2008 baseline). Operational efficiency is also a key strategy for GHG reductions. Each summer, one residence hall is renovated with an emphasis on increasing water and energy efficiency through the installation of low-flow bathroom appliances, high efficiency boilers, LED lighting, and energy management system upgrades. Nearly all of the outdoor lighting on campus has been replaced with LED fixtures. A successful single-stream recycling program combined with a new composting program has led to an increase in waste-diversion from 17 to 35 percent. Student Eco-Reps host sustainable events for their respective residence halls and created a Green Certification Program to audit academic departments, administrative offices, and student organizations based on sustainability criteria. A group faculty and staff Eco-Reps serve as sustainability champions within their offices. The Manager of Sustainability also collaborates with the student-run Bentley Green Society. Bentley recently introduced a sustainability science major to accompany the existing major in earth, environment, and global sustainability. The university views career development as an integral component of its sustainability plan and has a career advisor dedicated to programming and outreach for sustainability-related jobs.
