Welcome to The President's Committee on Corporate Social Responsibility

Purchasing Standard

As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain the University’s position as a leader among institutions of higher education committed to the protection and advancement of CSR policies, the PCCSR recently collaborated with the Purchasing Department on the development of standard CSR contracting language. The new language reiterates the University’s position on CSR practices and requires annual summary reports of the vendor’s corporate social and environmental practices. For questions regarding this new contracting language, please contact Leslie Langworthy of the Purchasing Department at 860 486 5898.
