As people around the globe raise their voices demanding greater action on global climate change, we at Siena College fully embrace this movement. Siena College is committed to engaging our staff, students and the wider community meaningfully in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

SDGs are a global agenda adopted by countries in 2015, with a vision of ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Siena is committed to working with our suppliers who are dedicated to the environment and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Our students are passionate advocates of Climate Action and environmental sustainability. In 2019, students across year levels formed a group known as the Eco Warriors. The Eco Warrior group allows students to harness team building skills, as well as creating opportunities to collaborate. It gives students the ability to express their voice within the College and demonstrate leadership abilities. Students and staff brainstormed, planned and implemented initiatives to improve the environmental footprint of the College.

In 2021, Siena College committed to three of the Sustainable Development Goals: 7, 11 and 13. These goals will guide and inform the choices, habits and practices of the College and will be featured in some of the curriculum studied by students. Operating with these goals in mind reflects our Dominican charism by responding to the signs of the times, as well as the Catholic social principle of 'Care for our Common Home'.
