Socially Just within Ecological Limits

Sustainability at BCIT

Our commitment to sustainability encompasses everything from advancing the state of practice through education and campus operations, to engaging the community across the Institute and around the world.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020, BCIT launched our first Sustainability Vision. The Sustainability Vision reflects the interests of the nearly 800 students, faculty, staff, and partners who provided their input on sustainability at BCIT, and outlines a path for continued integration of sustainability through BCIT policies, practices, and culture.
