KUDOS - University of Michigan Ann Arbor

The University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus achieved two of its 2025 sustainability goals in 2022, according to an annual Planet Blue fact sheet. It reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent from its 2006 benchmark, three years ahead of schedule, and exceeded its goal of applying 40 percent fewer chemicals to campus landscapes compared with 2006 for the fourth consecutive year.

            The emissions reduction provides a solid foundation for the university’s carbon neutrality commitments, which were established in 2021 and span the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses, Michigan Medicine and Athletics.
