Engage with respect
We work from a position of respect for others’ expertise, insight, and inherent worth, and we reflect a respect for future generations in our passion for sustainability.
Rooted in pan-institutional plans
Our Strategic Plan builds on and compliments our existing pan-institutional visions and plans, which are central to the work already being done. Serving as foundational components, these individual visions and plans have not been explicitly detailed within the commitments and initiatives. Instead, they are woven into the priorities and their evaluation. This integration honours the work currently underway while aligning the Strategic Plan with our established visions and plans.
