Overview of the Initiative

Oak Ridge National Laboratory’sSustainable Campus Initiative

8 Managed by UT-Battellefor the U.S. Department of Energy

ORNL’s goal is to achieve benchmark sustainability in campus operation and in research, development and deployment of key

technologies

Time frame - Ten years, target 2018, with heavy front-end loading

Sponsored and advocated by Executive Leadership

Focus on integration of operations and research

Builds on base of strong ES&H, HR, & Operations

Brought together existing initiatives, providing synergies

Added many new initiatives
