Sustainability Governance Framework
The Governance Framework provides strategic direction in integrating sustainability within Concordia's decision-making process.

Framework Structure
In 2013, members of the President’s Executive Group of Concordia drafted a Sustainability Governance Framework to provide strategic direction in institutionalizing sustainability within the university’s decision-making process.
