Waterloo Pharmacy Green Office Initiative

As of August 2020, the School of Pharmacy is certified as a Bronze Certified Office. We're currently working on our silver certification.

Piloted in January 2016, the Green Office program engages the University of Waterloo community in initiatives to make our campus greener. The School of Pharmacy joined the Green Office program in 2019 and is working to evaluate and improve sustainability practices at the School.

If you are interested in joining the Waterloo Pharmacy Green Team, please contact Gail Bender who is the current ambassador for our office.
