Phillips Academy’s Statement of Purpose requires the school “to promote a balance of leadership, cooperation and service, together with a deeper awareness of the global community and the natural world.”  To achieve this end, the Campus Sustainability Office values the creation of an environmentally aware campus that recognizes its long-term impact on the local and global community.  The core principles of the Sustainability Office shall be:

• To connect all aspects of student learning to efforts that reduce Andover’s impact on the environment.
• To promote sustainable behavior by students, faculty and staff that allows members of the community to take responsibility for the institution’s environmental impact.
• To lead by its creation of an environmentally conscious citizenry whose awareness beyond themselves promotes long-term sustainable living.
