Environment

Environmental Protection supports university departments seeking to meet their environmental obligations as prescribed by UBC Policy SC4 – Environmental Protection Compliance.

Through environmental audits, consultation, and the development of an Environmental Management System, Environmental Protection provides the regulatory and technical guidance to:

  • minimize the environmental impact of their operations;
  • mitigate environmental risks; and
  • prevent and control spills and releases to the environment.

Environmental Protection staff also compile and submit environmental compliance reports to various agencies at the municipal, provincial and federal level.
