Alfred Tinkersmith Sustainability Actions

Campus recycling and reuse

An Alfred University student group called Alfred Goes Green says it has placed and managed recycling bins in the Science Center to help cut waste on campus. It also runs a free clothing swap, which gives students a way to pass on clothes they no longer need instead of throwing them away. That helps reduce textile waste, which means less clothing ends up in landfill. The group also links these activities to wider student engagement with nature and local environmental care.

Energy and water saving at hotel

The Alfred Hotel Amsterdam says it has already installed energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, which are heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, to lower energy use. It also says it has added solar panels, low-flow taps and toilets, recycling programs, and green cleaning products. The hotel also asks guests to reuse towels and linens and to skip some cleaning visits, which can save water and energy. These are operational changes, not future promises.

Free learning tools online

Alfred Music’s SI Online platform gives teachers and students free access to streaming lesson videos, accompaniment tracks, worksheets, and extra practice material. The page says this reduces the need for CDs and DVDs, since the content is available online and can be reused across devices. While this is not a full sustainability program, it does show a shift away from physical media and toward digital access, which can reduce material use and waste.

Sustainable investing process

Lightsmith Group says it already builds environmental, social, and governance (ESG) checks into its investment process. ESG means looking at environmental, social, and governance risks before investing. Its system screens deals, checks for human rights and labour issues, and can require action plans with measurable steps and timelines when risks are found. The firm also says it uses international standards such as the IFC Performance Standards and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
