Commitment to Reducing CO₂ Emissions

The University is firmly committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. Our commitment goes beyond reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it also includes implementing practices that ensure a healthier and more sustainable environment for all. We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.

Our pathway to carbon neutrality in 2040  is built on three fundamental principles:

• Reduce – prioritising the reduction of emissions through energy efficiency, sustainable campus management, and the promotion of responsible behaviours across the academic community
• Transform – accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and low-carbon solutions across all activities
• Compensate – addressing residual emissions through credible and verifiable carbon offsetting and removal mechanisms

Assessment and Monitoring of Carbon Footprint

To monitor the impact and progress regarding the carbon footprint, the university conducts an annual assessment of CO₂ emissions. The report is prepared in accordance with internationally recognized standards, such as the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, ensuring transparency and accuracy in accounting for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Based on regular measurements of our emissions, we are implementing effective measures to achieve carbon neutrality, actively contributing to SDG 13 and a more sustainable world.
