Energy & Sustainability Office

The mission of Weber State University's Energy & Sustainability Office (ESO) is to serve as a state and national leader by making its campuses sustainable and carbon neutral by the year 2040 through the use of intelligent business practices. The ESO embraces the idea that business goals and environmental goals are not mutually exclusive and must be pursued together to successfully create a sustainable university. 

The ESO collaborates with departments and offices on and off campus to share and implement sustainability best practices. The ESO also seeks to involve students in this transformational work to ensure that they have the skills necessary to become future sustainability leaders in their respective professions.

• Implement WSU's Climate Action Plan and the operations-based Sustainability Plan sections which include the goals related to sustainable transportation, food sustainability and security, green buildings, green purchasing, water and grounds, and zero waste.
• Oversee WSU's Green Department Certification Program  which incentizes offices and programs to adopt sustainable business practices.
• Manage the Green Badge Program which incentivizes students, faculty, and staff to implement sustainable practices into their lives.
• Advise sustainability-related clubs including the Environmental Ambassadors, the Food Recovery Network, the Community Garden Club, and the WSU student chapter of Citizens' Climate Lobby.
