McGill Procurement Services has adopted a number of sustainable purchasing policies and procedures in the last few years, and the team at 1010 Sherbrooke is showing they can walk the talk. Sustainability goal: We aim to encourage and embody sustainable behaviour, both in our activities as procurement professionals and in our day-to-day actions. “The two unions reps in our office always encourage our third colleague to take his one-hour lunch break.” Procurement Services (1010 Sherbrooke) – Silver Abruzzese-Goyette even applied to stop receiving flyers at home.Īs for practicing self-care, this small team has things covered. The team has been working to reduce waste across the board by bringing in reusable dishware, using the four-steam waste bins outside their office, and properly disposing of printer cartridges and old electronics. “Our IT Customer Service office wants to set a precedent for the other IT offices around campus,” said Sustainable Workplace Ambassador Alexander Abruzzese-Goyette. Inspired by other units in the Bronfman Building that achieved sustainable workplace certification, this team is now looking to pay it forward.
Improve our contribution to McGill’s sustainability at large. Sustainability goal: Adopt more sustainable work practices and build habits. In all cases, it is clear that the best way to move forward sustainably is to do it together. Many were already making sustainable choices in their daily routine without realizing it, and for others, simple reminders and support from their colleagues was all they needed to start building new habits. That was the most common takeaway for the 11 teams that joined the Sustainable Workplace Certification program this academic year. Teamwork was a major motivator for many of the offices that joined the Sustainable Workplace Certification program this semester.\
