Victoria (Vicki)
Wakefield,
Manager of Logistics/Sustainability, Supply
Management, Business Operations, The University of
British Columbia (UBC),
victoria.wakefield@ubc.ca The University of British Columbia is amongst Canada’s top five research-intensive universities. Attracts 55,000 students and retains 19,000 faculty and staff. Is made up of 412 buildings, at over 13.5 million square feet and will be climate neutral and eventually become the first net-positive energy campus in the world. Moving forward the implementation of the newly developed energy and emission management policy and an integrated climate management strategy is essential to achieving this goal. Vicki will share with the audience how UBC is getting there and the success of logistics-related initiatives including reducing carbon-emissions on courier services; package reduction strategies; collaborative ventures with shippers to significantly reduce the number of trips per day and paperless administrative systems. |
