Sustainability: a guide for members of governing bodies
Sustainability is key to institutional success over the long-term. As the business sector has shown, sustainability provides exciting opportunities for value creation and risk mitigation.
These opportunities are becoming increasingly apparent to higher education institutions, as universities look for ways to increase financial resilience in a changing global market and policy landscape. Now, more than ever, with adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals,6 universities that embrace sustainability can reap the benefits of balancing their financial health with wider social and environmental interests.
Students, staff and local communities are looking to universities to behave in a socially responsible and sustainable manner. Many universities already play a significant positive role through their governance, research, teaching and learning, campus management and use, business and investment, and their impact on staff, students and local community.
