Campus Sustainability Compact Award Winners
Illinois Campus Sustainability Compact outlines environmental goals that colleges and universities may adopt on their campuses. The Compact includes objectives such as purchasing renewable energy, implementing green building practices, developing sustainable transportation options, improving water conservation, and incorporating sustainable dining practices.

The program offers universities and colleges three levels of participation: bronze institutions making a commitment to creating a sustainability program and engaging the campus community, silver institutions which are ready to make targeted commitments to greening their operations and monitoring performance, and gold for institutions that are integrating sustainability throughout their campus and working towards measured improvement.
