Evidence of UMN’s Commitment to Sustainability

1. A Real Green Campus

One piece of evidence of UMN’s commitment to sustainability is its participation in the UI GreenMetric ranking, a ranking of sustainable universities worldwide. In the latest ranking, UMN placed highly both globally and nationally and became one of the best private universities in Indonesia for sustainability. This achievement shows that UMN does not merely talk about the environment but applies it in practice on campus.

UMN’s campus facilities are designed on environmentally friendly principles. The buildings are designed for energy efficiency and to maximize natural light, while energy-saving building technology and a more prudent water management system support the effort to create a sustainable green campus.

2. Waste and Resource Management

In addition to environmentally friendly buildings, UMN also focuses on responsible resource management. The campus runs a composting program for organic waste and works with partners such as Plasticpay to promote non-organic waste management through recycling and a circular-economy approach. In this way, UMN does not simply dispose of waste in a sorted manner, but seeks to process it into economic value and social benefit.

3. Sustainability in the Curriculum

One aspect that makes UMN different is integrating sustainability education directly into the academic curriculum. Sustainability education is not merely the theme of seminars or campus activities, but also material that students study seriously through various relevant courses.

In the spirit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), UMN offers various courses that include discussions of sustainability and environmental issues in a range of study contexts. These courses cover topics such as green energy management, sustainable urban planning, environmental impact analysis, and socio-economic issues related to sustainability.

4. Sustainability Education Outside the Classroom

UMN understands that sustainability education does not end in the classroom. Through campaigns, workshops, and Sustainability Week, students are encouraged to think critically about environmental issues and to take real action. These activities help build an active environmental culture on campus. Sustainability is not just a theory, but a practice in everyday life.

For example, students are invited to see the real impact of energy use and waste reduction, and how organizations can apply sustainability principles in their operations. This kind of education aims to produce graduates who not only understand global issues, but are also ready to contribute professionally to sustainable solutions in the future.
