ACADEMIA POLITICS, ADMINISTRATION AND BUSINESS EDUCATION STAFF MOBILITY CO-PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE

12 POLITO SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS GREEN TEAM A MULTISCIPLINARY TEAM FOR A SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS A group of faculty members, students and employees, which encourage th University to adopt environmental and social policies in accordance with the guidelines of the H2020-Strategic Plan Since 2015, PoliTO has been a member of the ISCN (International Sustainable Campus Network), the ASVIS (Alleanza Italiana per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile) and among the founders of the RUS (Rete delle Università per lo Sviluppo sostenibile)

13 POLITO SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS THE GREEN TEAM AND THE GOVERNANCE MODEL

14 POLITO SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS OUTPUT AND PUBLICATIONS DISSEMINATING POLITO S SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSES Research, especially for a public institution like PoliTO, acquires particular importance when it provides the basis for creating possible developments in sustainability issues: data, analysis results and objectives of sustainability are part of PoliTO s output and publications shared with the public and avaible on Green Team s official channels. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Green Team, 2016 PROGRAMMATIC DOCUMENT Green Team, 2016

15 ENERGY AND BUILDINGS ENERGY AND BUILDINGS 16,7 GWh 12,6 GWh 2,9 GWh REDUCE electricity AND district RATIONALIZE heating natural gas 100% 0,63 PRIMARY ENERGY RENEWABLES USE ENERGY IN THE CAMPUS Less and more sustainable energy, by reducing the consumptions of our buildings and plants, producing or buying energy from renewables and from more efficient urban energy systems Data Sustainability Report 2016 Total energy consumption 4,967 ktoe per cubic meter 0,004 toe/m 3 per student 0,166 toe/student Carbon footprint 2,217 CO 2 kt

16 ENERGY AND BUILDINGS INITIATIVES 100% ELECTRICITY FROM RENEWABLES 80% DISTRICT HEATING We use only renewable electricity: photovoltaic (680 kwp) and green procurement with Guarantee of Origin. Space heating in our buildings is mostly supplied by the Turin district heating, one of the most efficient in Europe. TARGET SAME ACTIVITIES AND SAME COMFORT WITH LESS ENERGY -20% electricity consumption for lighting -10% electricity consumption at night or holidays time -5% energy consumption for heating and cooling Open Lab: field tests of energy efficiency actions

17 MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT PURSUE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF MOBILITY IN THE CAMPUS The sustainability of mobility from and to the University campus and between its five metropolitan poles - means guaranteeing a freedom of movement to all its employees and, as far as possible, users. PoliTO is not only committed to propose new vehicles, services and systems, innovative ICT applications for URBAN MOBILITY PLANS, but also to promote them in mobility management activities of TURIN CITY COUNCIL.

18 MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT INITIATIVES TARGET FACILITATE PUBLIC TRANSPORT To know, in continuity with the past, the mobility needs of University employees and students, stimulating the use of public transport and stipulating agreements with public sustainable mobility systems (bike and car sharing services, railway and tram lines). INCREASE SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY Maintain and strengthen economic incentives for PoliTO staff for use of local public transport subscriptions and possibly extend the measure to deserving students; raise awareness and make known the PoliTO initiatives on sustainable mobility.

19 URBAN OUTREACH URBAN OUTREACH THE CITY, THE SOCIETY AND THE POLITO S COMMUNITY The preservation of existing facilities and buildings as well as to increase the recognition of urban places used by university users (buildings, paths, spaces) and to strengthen of the sense of belonging in the city of Turin. For the PoliTO s community, being sustainable means focusing not only on the environment but also on the WELFARE of those who live inside the university, improving well-being, safety, healt, equal opportunities.

20 URBAN OUTREACH INITIATIVES TARGET CREATE A VIRTUOS EXCHANGE NETWORK Collaborate with the main national (RUS, AsVIS, etc.) and international networks (CESAR, UNI-Set, ISCN, ICCP, etc.) in the dissemination of sustainable practices; develop/design/plan events dedicated to the theme of sustainable development. MAKE POLITO AN ALWAYS BETTER PRACTICE Bring POLITO among the top 100 universities in Greenmetrics; take an active part in the meetings and conferences of the associated networks, disseminating the results of good practices and research to reach everhigher levels of welfare and sustainability.

21 FOOD, WATER AND WASTE FOOD, WATER AND WASTE THE AGRO-FOOD CHAIN AND THE WASTE MANAGEMENT The sustainability of the agro-food chain (energy saving, re-use of surplus) and local and traditional products and the rationalizing waste production thus reducing its environmental impact in the campus. An entity such as PoliTO has an important influence on the city and on users themselves who often are not aware enough in terms of DISPOSAL, RECYCLING and sustainability of SUPPLY CHAINS

22 FOOD, WATER AND WASTE INITIATIVES TARGET DISSEMINATE AWARENESS ON FOOD AND WASTE Sensitize people to a more conscious use of resources, sharing more knowledge about the end of life of the products and the problems about disposal; intensify the separate collection of the waste and the presence of water points in the various PoliTO s sites. LESS WASTES AND MORE FOOD CHOICE Installation of internal drinking water points and distribution of personal water bottles to reduce the consuption of plastic; special waste collection and disposal of special supply chains; installation of separate and safe food lines for particular food needs.

23 GREEN PROCUREMENT GREEN PROCUREMENT PURCHASE OF MATERIALS FOLLOWING GPP PROTOCOLS Materials for the university and its employees are bought following the green public procurement guidelines, in order to respect the environment without forgetting the cost effectiveness of supply. The related offices are obliged to do the best possible sustainable choice according to two protocols: one of the MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT and one born from an initiative of the Province of Torino with ARPA.

24 GREEN PROCUREMENT INITIATIVES TARGET APPLY SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENTS ON PROCUREMENT Introduction and development of the use of recycled paper, rationalization of the number and location of ecofriendly printers, increase of the purchase of furniture, products for toilets and stationery products with Eco Label. STIMULATE USERS VIRTUOUS BEHAVIOR Develop and maintain best practices on the sustainable purchasing process, increase the presence of products with visual elements of eco-sustainability (eg: Ecolabel), adapt purchasing processes to regulatory standards and undertake paths for the adoption of voluntary regulations.

25 COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION DISSEMINATE SUSTAINABILITY CULTURE Developing a communication strategy to engage and empower faculty, students, and staff in shaping, applying, and continuously improving the sustainability principles and practices. Environmental communication is fundamental to build relationships between different actors, organize a clear and updated INFORMATION FLOW, promote Green Team activities and create debate on sustainability.

26 COMMUNICATION INITIATIVES TARGET SHARE AND INCREASE SUSTAINABILITY CULTURE Creation of a Sustainable Campus communication platform, strengthening the identity of the Team; construction of events of great interest on sustainability; planning and implementation of actions on the promotion and the communication of the various fields. BUILD A STRONG SUSTAINABLE IDENTITY Strengthening the concept of PoliTO community by building a visual identity; increasing sensitivity towards sustainable action and becoming a point of reference in sharing information and knowledge on environmental culture.

27 EVENTS EVENTS PLANNING ENGAGING ACTIONS The PoliTO Green Team adheres and organizes initiatives at a territorial and national level through which it actively involves students, teachers and administrative staff to give resonance to sustainability actions.
