Greenhouse Gas Reduction Roadmap
To support the ongoing culture of conservation and sustainability at Fanshawe, the College completed a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Roadmap and Action Plan. The goal of this action plan is to reduce the college’s GHG emissions by 30% below 2013 levels by 2030 and 80% by 2050.
Fanshawe’s GHG Reduction Strategy involves four key elements:
- Conservation and demand management
- Space optimization and net zero buildings
- Fleet and facility electrification
- Renewable energy

Waste Diversion
Waste diversion is a calculation of how much waste is produced that does not go to landfill. In 2019, 58.6% of total waste produced on campus was recycled, composted, or reused. Our goal is to increase our diversion rate every year, with a goal of zero waste to landfill by 2050.
