Consistent with its reputation as the Conference of Champions, the Pac-12 was the first collegiate sports conference to convene a high-level symposium focused entirely on integrating sustainability into college athletics and across college campuses. All of the Pac-12 athletic departments have committed to measuring their environmental performance, developing strategies and goals to reduce their impact, monitoring their progress, and engaging fans and communities in sustainable and social impact practices.

The Pac-12 is committed to using the power of sport to promote healthy, sustainable practices to its campus communities and among Pac-12 fans. Utah Athletics is supported in achieving these standards through partnership with the University of Utah Sustainability Office, whose mission and initiatives can be found at sustainability.utah.edu.
