Abstract

In the past decade, many organizations and institutions worldwide have recognized the importance of green-chemistry practices for a wide variety of applications. This shift is being driven by the realization that processes that is cost-effective, environmentally superior and delivers a competitive advantage. However, success depends on developing a culture of sustainability within an organization regardless of sector (e.g., academic, governmental or industrial). Staff at all levels from management to lab scientists need to understand the concepts of green chemistry and how they might be embraced to everyone's benefit. The focus of the workshop will involve the Seven Guidelines to Green Sustainability at the Organizational Level as outlined nicely by Tucker and Faul, empowering champions, raising awareness, expand collaborations, define metrics, recognize achievements, invest in technology and promote outreach. The purpose of the workshop is to identify specific actions and/or initiatives that can help embed Green principles within an organization and the output will be for the groups to share their proposals, actions or initiatives that have been proposed or successfully enabled already within their organizations that either can or have furthered attention to GC within their organizations.
