Alliant作为一家B-Corp
In 2015, Alliant International University became the first standalone university to be Certified as a Public Benefit institution. 从那时起，我们每三年重新认证一次. 通过这个认证, we bring transparency and 问责制 to fulfilling our role as a leader in social responsibility, 并继续我们的承诺，不仅是世界上最好的, 但这是对世界最好的.
什么是互益企业?
b型企业是指组织, 机构, and companies that provide a public benefit and embrace the highest levels of commitment to social responsibility. 每三年一次, B Corps are certified to meet rigorous standards of social and 环境al performance, 问责制, 和透明度.
“Our commitment to social responsibility means nothing without action and 问责制. 通过我们的公益认证, 我们为我们的努力带来透明度和问责制, 每一个报告和认证过程, we gain valuable data and insights which help us make an even greater social impact year after year.”
我们如何不辜负我们作为b型企业的角色
治理
Alliant was named as a 2019 "Best For The World" in 治理 honoree by B Lab
透明度是我们行政哲学的一个关键原则. Through open communication, quarterly “university update” meetings, and frequent Q&A和市政厅会议, Alliant在为我们的治理带来透明度方面做得非常出色.
Inclusivity is at the heart of our guiding values, and that includes 包容 decision-making. 所有联盟利益相关者, 包括教职员工, are immersed in the decision-making processes that determine our institutional direction.
教职员工
Alliant has re-committed to 包容 excellence by launching the Alliant Board of Trustees Committee on 多样性、股票、 和包容
In 2020, 教师, 工作人员, 和管理人员共同努力创建了Alliant MAP, our COVID-19 Mitigation Action Plan to safeguard the health and well-being of the Alliant 社区 during the global health crisis while exploring innovative ways to plan to an eventual return to campus.
每年, Alliant hosts the “Alliant makes a Difference Day” which provides paid time off for employees to volunteer in their communities through a cause they believe in.
环境
Alliant成立了一个公益委员会, dedicated to creating ideas to help Alliant reduce its energy footprint on each campus
Alliant的实体足迹正在发生变化. 校园 sizes have been modified to fit the needs of 学生 that attend in-person or remotely, 这减少了所需的能量. 另外, new construction on other campuses are in line with green building standards and all policies and procedures around building adhere to 环境al standards.
Alliant promotes the use of public transportation and has installed electric vehicle charging ports to encourage the use of electric vehicles and reduce emissions.
社区
Alliant 学生, 教师, and 工作人员 contribute many service hours to our communities every year
We have an institutional history rooted in social justice and through initiatives like our Asylum Immigration Clinic and organizations like the Rockway Institute of LGBT studies, we continue our legacy of service to underrepresented and marginalized communities.
Alliant has launched the 社会影响 Committee to expand our work in cause-driven efforts and initiatives, prioritizing social and 环境al commitments and building upon the impact our 社区 has made over the past century.
学生
Alliant has launched a new student experience team to ensure our 学生 receive cross-disciplinary and holistic support during their educational journey
校友Fire的创建是为了关注Alliant的校友和在读学生. The new platform allows alumni from all generations and schools to network and re-engage with the University. Alliant has also formed an 校友 Advisory Board to help provide input to the direction of the University.

为什么我们决定成为一家互益企业
我们的愿景是一个由Alliant校友授权的包容性世界. We believe that education is the great equalizer and one of the most powerful tools at our disposal, but it is only when education is paired with purpose that we bear witness to its true power. 在Alliant, we pride ourselves in preparing generations of 学生 and alumni to translate their education into public benefit, 为社区服务, 以及持久的影响. 这就是我们被认证为互益企业的原因, and this is why we take immense pride in continuing our legacy as a certified Public Benefit Institution.
