Operations & campus

Further integrating sustainable development in the institution’s activities and operations.

A University-wide endeavor

Operational sustainability is a university-wide endeavor, encompassing all aspects of our institution.

It primarily focuses on providing support to operational departments and administrative functions to ensure the integration of sustainability into their decision-making processes and the assessment of their actions, all the way down to the definition of their processes. We place a strong emphasis on engaging in meaningful dialogues with our academic staff, allowing us to collaboratively share operational sustainability initiatives on our campuses. Our researchers’ expertise is a valuable resource in these endeavors.

Equally crucial is our ongoing dialogue with the student community. We believe that a university can truly embody sustainability only when it empowers its students to actively contribute to the transformation of their learning environment. Furthermore, we encourage students to apply the skills they acquire through our educational programs to the benefits of sustainability project.

This collaborative effort ensures that our institution aligns with the expectations of our students and continually evolves to meet the demands of a sustainable future.

A holistic approach

Our operational sustainability initiative encompasses two critical dimensions:

Long-term vision
- We are committed to continual, transformative improvements in economic, societal, and environmental performance across our institution’s functions and operations.

Short and medium-term actions
- We are actively engaging our community to address immediate and essential needs.

The University has identified six priority areas for the development of its operational sustainability, constituting a compass for the development of activities and projects in this area.
