Corporate Accountability Working Group

The Corporate Accountability campaign focuses on identifying areas where UC San Diego falls short in promoting sustainability and reducing emissions, particularly concerning the well-being of its students. Currently efforts are directed toward enhancing the availability of fair trade, cruelty-free, and sustainably packaged products in campus markets. We are researching the areas where UCSD has not met its 2019 Climate Action Planning goals. Additionally we are pushing to encourage students to upcycle and donate old clothes and other goods, preventing them from ending up in landfills.

 

Projects:

• The Swap and Upcycling Fair:

  • Aims to encourage students to buy second hand and buy locally, as well as, divert waste by mending and fixing the items they already have

• The Climate Action Plan (CAP)

  • Keep UCSD accountable to their commitments of reducing fossil-fuel emission and increasing their efforts of sustainability starts at an official statement

  • Get UCSD on a sustainability timeline to measure what UCSD is actively achieving
