Campus dining has just converted their cleaning/sanitation program over to a sustainable program to address the environmental footprint.  We do this through lower energy consumption, conservation of water, and reduction of waste while enhancing student and employee safety.  Ecolab, as Samford University's partner in sustainability, enforces these standards through three core principles.

• Social Responsibility 
• Environmental Stewardship 
• Economic Progress
