Concordia recognized among top performers in global sustainability index
The university has been featured in the most recent Sustainable Campus Index, an initiative of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) that highlights top-performing institutions across key areas of sustainability.
This recognition reflects Concordia’s performance under the most rigorous iteration of AASHE’s Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), version 3.0.
Among approximately 100 universities worldwide that submitted under STARS 3.0 — and as the first Canadian university to do so — Concordia placed first in transportation. The university also placed third in three additional categories: energy and climate, investment, and research.
