UMN’s Ethical Investment Stance: Supporting a Fossil-Free Future

(Doc. UMN)

Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN) affirms its commitment to environmental responsibility not only through operational practices, but also through ethical and sustainable financial governance. Guided by its DRAFT Sustainable Investment Policy, UMN ensures that all financial decisions reflect the university’s broader vision of sustainability and climate action. 

UMN applies a preventive and values-driven approach in its financial practices by prioritizing environmentally responsible partnerships and avoiding engagement with carbon-intensive energy industries, particularly coal and oil. This principle serves as a foundation for any current or future investment, funding collaboration, or procurement activity, ensuring that financial decisions remain aligned with sustainability goals. 

This commitment is further emphasized in Point Five of the Sustainable Investment Policy, which states that UMN prioritizes external purchasing from environmentally conscious industries and supports sustainable business practices. In line with this policy, UMN also takes a clear position against engaging with industries that focus on high carbon emissions. This includes a firm preference to divert financial resources away from sectors such as coal and oil, reflecting a strong institutional stance for a low-carbon future. 

UMN strengthens its credibility in sustainable governance by integrating ethical financial principles with its operational sustainability efforts—such as solar energy adoption, green mobility, and resource management. This alignment between policy and practice reinforces UMN’s role as a forward-thinking institution committed to climate action and a low-carbon, sustainable future.
