The University of California Office of the President has issued a revision to the Sustainable Practices policy. Annual revisions ensure continued alignment with the University Carbon Neutrality Initiative, to better align goals and reporting for the medical centers to the healthcare facility context, and to update the zero waste and sustainable procurement sections.

The full policy is available online.
