3 Commuters’ Carbon Footprints: A Sustainability Case Study from Symbiosis International University, India Prakash Rao 1 , Saravan Krishnamurthy 2 and Vishal Pradhan 2 1 Symbiosis Institute of International Business, Symbiosis International University, Pune, Maharashtra, India 2 Symbiosis Centre for Information Technology, Symbiosis International University, Pune, Maharashtra, India Abstract This chapter describes the initiative of commuters’ carbon footprint (CFP) assessment at Symbiosis International University, Pune, India. A survey enabled comprehension of employees’ commuting patterns to various cam- puses of the University. This baseline study is the foundation for CFP assessments aimed to reduce the University’s impacts on global warming. Primary data yielded estimations of university Carbon emissions, commute choices of employees, per campus carbon footprints and eventually an assess- ment of the university’s CFP in commuting aspects alone. These results indicate environmental co-benefits for each campus. The causality of CFP variation at campuses was construed from patterns of employee designations, campus locations, and vehicle types. Grouping of employees were deduced, with practical recommendations for each group and the University as a whole. Currently, in India, new Higher Educational Institutions (HEI) operate from multiple campus locations. Decision makers in Indian HEIs who intend to assist the transition of HEIs to a low-carbon economy (LCE) stand to benefit from this research. Beginning with functional changes in commuting 37
