Georgia Tech

The Office of Sustainability and Innovation at Georgia Tech contracted with Lotus to review, reorganize, and rewrite its existing sustainability action plan. Lotus synthesized the existing plan to identify opportunities to increase clarity and streamline the narratives, goals, and strategies while ensuring the plan connects seamlessly with Georgia Tech’s overall guiding strategic plan.

Lotus also completed a QA/QC of Georgia Tech’s greenhouse gas inventories going back to 2008. After this work was completed, Lotus created a new GHG inventory template for the FY2022 inventory that will be used in future years.

Lotus is currently working with Georgia Tech to create a Climate Action Plan that will help them reach their net zero goals. This work includes the modeling of greenhouse gas reduction strategies and coalescing hundereds of strategies and actions into one actionable plan

 
The creation of this our university strategic sustainability plan was presented with many challenges including a wide variety of stakeholders, difficult timelines, and working within state institutional regulations. The team at Lotus stepped up to each challenge and worked with our needs to create a beautiful and engaging document. We are truly proud to be able to demonstrate our commitment to sustainability efforts by sharing our plan with the campus community and with the world.
