About Sustainability UCAR
 |
"UCAR is committed to reducing our environmental impacts, consistent with our mission to advance understanding of the atmospheric and related sciences and to benefit society as a whole. We will do our best to use natural resources efficiently, minimize our waste, offer alternative transportation options to our staff, and seek to use renewable energy. Our science, technology and education programs will promote the importance of minimizing human impacts on the climate and the environment and developing resilience to natural hazards of all kinds. We will encourage our employees to be similarly environmentally conscious in their professional and personal lives, so that we all contribute to a healthier planet and a more sustainable society.”
Rick Anthes, President
University Corporation for Atmospheric Research

Sustainability is a process, not a destination. It means working together to find better ways to meet our business needs, ways that are greener and more efficient. Creativity, analysis, and collaboration are keys to the process – much like the scientific research and support process. |
