What is Sustainability?
Meeting the needs of present without compromising the needs of future generations
Sustainability is a broad initiative, taking into account smaller individual initiatives, and is centered on the approach of People-Planet- Profit. This approach balances all three goals of sustainability and one goal should not sacrifice other goals.
- People: Goal is to benefit and improve the well-being of patients, family, students, staff and the local community - the human aspect of UAMS.
- Planet: Goal is to benefit and reduce the environmental impact of UAMS.
- Profit: Goal is to be financially responsible throughout the process.
Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations can be obtained as UAMS improves the health, healthcare, and well-being of Arkansans and of others in the region, nation, and world.
