Feb. 20, 2009- Babson College President Leonard Schlesinger has signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment.
This Climate Commitment is a high-visibility effort to address global warming by garnering institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions, and to accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth’s climate.
The college and university presidents and chancellors who are joining and leading the Commitment believe that exerting leadership in addressing climate change will stabilize and reduce their long-term energy costs, attract excellent students and faculty, attract new sources of funding, and increase the support of alumni and local communities. For more information, visit http://www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org/index.php.
As part of this effort, Babson has established the Babson Sustainability Steering Committee (BSSC), whose mission is to minimizing the College’s impact on the environment and reducing the College’s dependence on non-renewable energy. This Committee is charged with establishing guidelines for the College’s Sustainable Practices including: Green Building Design; Green Building Renovations; Climate Protection Practices; Clean Energy Standards; Sustainable Transportation Practices; Sustainable Operations; Recycling and Waste Management; and Environmentally Preferable Procurement.

Babson College installed a wind turbine on the school’s campus as a demonstration project. The college’s decision to complete the installation was based on a proposal created by a team of three graduate students and introduced through the Babson Energy and Environmental Club, a student led organization at the F.W. Olin Graduate School of Business.
Through the installation, Babson has joined the growing number of US colleges and universities that have chosen to develop their commitment to sustainable business practice through the use of renewable energy technologies and become the first in the greater Boston area to utilize wind power through an on campus installation.
SolarWrights, Inc. completed the installation for Babson. To watch a video featuring one of the company's previous installations featuring the same model turbine to be installed at Babson (Skystream 3.7), click here.
