“Sustainability is most meaningful when it’s built into the way an organization operates — not treated as a separate initiative,” said Joe Bellman, Vice President, Procurement & Corporate Real Estate, Ellucian. “This recognition reflects the commitment of our teams to carry sustainability into the decisions we make across our business, including how we approach our workplaces and leasing practices. We’re proud of their work to turn that commitment into meaningful progress.”

Ellucian earned the recognition for incorporating sustainability best practices into its commercial leasing strategy to support more efficient, high-performing buildings. By aligning landlord and tenant priorities, green leasing helps improve resource efficiency while advancing shared environmental objectives.
