Sustainability

The University of Manitoba’s mission reflects an abiding commitment to sustainability. The very business of the University – creating, preserving and communicating knowledge for well-being – is integral to sustainable development. We do this work today so that students and their communities (and our larger community of Earth) can have big futures. Our work contributes to human development, and our values guide us to pursue this work in a way that manages the impacts we have on our planet. 

Our Office of Sustainability supports sustainability across the entire institution, bringing our University community together to move forward with positive action.
