Sustainable Creighton Office Certificate
Creighton University employees can be agents of change and make an impact on creating a more sustainable campus. The Sustainable Creighton Office Certificate is a voluntary initiative that promotes sustainable practices within office settings on campus. The program is designed, implemented and maintained by the Office of Sustainability Programs in collaboration with the Sustainability Governance Committee.
Goal
The goal of the Sustainable Creighton Office Certificate program is to support and promote campus offices that are taking steps toward reducing their environmental footprint by integrating more sustainable choices into the workplace.

Peace and Justice Cooperative
As students educated in a Jesuit University in the Jesuit tradition, we are aware that a unique aspect of our education lies within the University's commitment to the promotion of justice.
We have been afforded the privilege of gaining skills and knowledge to prosper in the world. However, we recognize that with this privilege comes great responsibility. In an increasingly interdependent global community, our political and economic decisions in the First World have profound results in developing countries. Thus, our goal as the Peace and Justice Cooperative is to align the Jesuit values surrounding social justice and solidarity with the poor together with our daily actions and consumer choices as individual members of this institution and as a University. Moreover, we are committed to educating the whole Creighton community about the importance of such alignment and the issues raised in our research and experience. In educating the whole Creighton community, we created a Creighton Fair Trade Resolution that has been approved and recognized by every administrative governing body on campus.
