We're excited to unveil our new Sustainability Strategy. We aim to reduce our carbon emissions to zero by 2045, which includes mass tree-planting and overhauling our travel policy.

We also pledge to eliminate the use of single-use plastic on our campuses by 2022, enhance biodiversity and plant 10,000 trees in ...our communities by 2026.
