Business improvements are a combination of sustainable and accessible initiatives that foster a safe and effective environment to work and study. Below are some examples of the business improvements we've made to increase productivity and efficiency on campus:


Elimination of paper-based processes

Elimination of paper-based processes

澳门六合彩开奖预测 has eliminated many of its paper-based processes saving time, space, and money on the cost of paper. For instance, FM receives several key requests each day and the current electronic form is estimated to save 70kg of paper each year.

More paperless processes:
  • A self-service portal enabling students to easily access grades, course calendars, and tax forms, as well as register for courses
  • Used Applications to reduce the carbon footprint and diminish thousands of admission letters and earning statements that the university previously printed
  • Gave staff the ability to view earning statements online, provide emergency contact details, and access necessary tax forms—reducing paper usage and improving productivity in the workplace

"Green Washing"

Green Washing

澳门六合彩开奖预测 currently uses cleaning products that are safer for the workplace and the natural environment. Their products are typically Green Seal certified and sport the Ecologo, an official mark licensed with .

Benefits of this using 'green' cleaner:
  • It is readily biodegradable
  • Made from naturally derived renewable resources
  • Has low human impact and aquatic toxicity.
  • Products are concentrated formulas, using fewer packaging materials for easier transportation
  • Smaller containers also conserve space in storage closets and are easier to lift

Also, all of the bathroom tissue supplied to the campus by Caretaking Services is 100% recycled and 80% post-consumer waste.
