Sustainability is a core value that drives partnerships at Seneca. Collaboration with Indigenous, racialized and equity-seeking communities, marginalized citizens, postsecondary institutions, industry, non-governmental organizations, governments and neighbouring communities is an essential way for Seneca to build a more sustainable future.
Our community goals align with the following SDGs:
Seneca launched the Reconciliation & Inclusion plan, taking us further on the journey to becoming the equitable Seneca. Seneca’s Reconciliation and Inclusion plan, sets out five areas of focus: education, people, services, information and places. With renewed commitment and new resources, we are building on the progress already underway across Seneca Polytechnic.
Seneca Polytechnic’s annual Green Citizen Symposium brings together thought leaders, students and the community to engage in important discussions about sustainability.
Seneca works with many external partners to increase opportunities for students and employees to live healthier, more sustainable lives. Partners include Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, World Wildlife Fund and Sustainable Development Solutions Network Canada.
