Green IT at Penn Carey Law

We are proud to be a certified level 4 green office (the highest available) by Penn’s Green Campus Partnership.

ITS works to do our part in order to help Penn Sustainability meet their ambitious and inspiring sustainability goals.

Here are several of the initiatives ITS has been working on in order to help Penn Sustainability meet its goals and embrace reduction of carbon emissions, energy use and waste.

Energy Reduction

  • Sleep mode and auto-off enabled on all copiers and all printers
  • Computer monitors are set to sleep after a certain amount of inactivity

Waste Reduction

  • Double-sided printing as a default
  • Copiers offer option to scan and email instead of print
  • Recycle inkjet and laser jet cartridges
