KLD has recently released policies and guidelines for solid waste management and energy conservation to uphold the principles of Zero Waste and energy consumption toward a sustainable campus.
To reduce and control waste production within the campus, the institution issued a total plastic ban. This policy mandates all KLD employees and students to refrain from using styrofoam, plastic bags and non-biodegradable food packing materials. It also bans the throwing of plastics into the garbage bins and suggests all Regals to adhere to proper waste segregation practices.
In addition, KLD released new energy conservation policies which promote practices on the reduction of energy wastage and loss and greenhouse gas emissions. To lower energy consumption, guidelines on how to utilize the college facilities and equipment properly are stipulated in this policy and have been disseminated to all employees and students.
These policies and guidelines are all hinged on the institution’s commitment to environmental sustainability. As a stakeholder with environmental obligations under the law, the KLD strives to monitor its continuous improvement and performance on the implementation of eco-friendly practices and activities within and outside the campus.
