Sustainably Fossil-Free
At Unity Environmental University, Sustainability Science affects more than just what happens in the field, classroom, or laboratory. It goes beyond operational initiatives like recycling, renewable energy, and local foods to impact how we make our investments.
Just as a commitment to personal sustainability means conscious consideration of one’s financial investments as well as day-to-day choices, Unity Environmental University is committed to responsible investment of our endowment funds.
In 2012, Unity Environmental University (then known as Unity College) became the first college or university to divest its investment portfolio from fossil fuels. That re-investment was not only the right thing to do for Unity, but it also has paid off financially.
The Investment Policy Statement is maintained by the Unity Environmental University Board of Trustees and articulates Unity Environmental University’s investment objectives, investment policies, specific guidelines for endowment investment, policies related to investment management and reporting, and code of ethics.
