MIT's commitment to environmental responsibility begins at the highest levels of our administration, and permeates virtually every aspect of our community. It revolves around several critical objectives, which include:
- Honoring our legacy of leadership in science, technology, and innovative problem solving
- Promoting research, academic, administrative, operational, and individual activities that support MIT's environmental standards, which embody stewardship and extend well beyond compliance with local, state, and federal regulations
- Protecting our environment and the welfare of our community
