Overview

The Environmental Sustainability, Health and Safety - Environmental Sustainability program offered by Rochester Institute of Technology demonstrates how rethinking organizational operations can directly lead to meaningful environmental improvements—leading to more sustainable agriculture and food, safer products, and better remediation practices for contaminated sites. Manufacturers of everything from phones to food face complex ethical, legal, and economic challenges tied to supply chains, production, product use, and end-of-life management in their efforts to reduce their impact. In the environmental sustainability option, you’ll explore how sustainability informs these decisions and gain the skills to implement systems that create meaningful, measurable impact.
