Vision
"We believe in the central importance of sustainability in our professional and personal lives. We also recognize that the word sustainability is burdened with a heavy freight of complex, sometimes confusing meanings that often make it a challenge to speak about or understand it clearly.
By extension, we believe that the language we use and the stories we tell to illustrate what a sustainable life might look like are essential to making sustainability accessible and meaningful to the individuals and communities from whom change must come."
Mission
"SFU will pursue ecological, social and economic sustainability through its programs and operations. Through teaching and learning, research and community engagement, SFU will seek and share solutions. In its own operations, it will develop and model best practices, from minimizing its ecological footprint, to maximizing its social health and economic strength."
