Ateneo and the UN Sustainable Development Goals

SDG 17

 

Partnerships for the Goals

Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development

Ateneo de Manila University has actively participated in the development of national government policies related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Its involvement in the creation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2020-2030 is an example of its ability to collaborate with the government in policy formulation. The university is a part of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and the Ateneo Institute of Sustainability serves as the host of SDSN Philippines.

To showcase its commitment to the SDGs, the Ateneo Institute of Sustainability, and later the Ateneo Innovation Center, have released a report on the University's sustainability initiatives and its contributions to attaining the SDGs 1–17 in order to demonstrate its commitment to the SDGs.

The Ateneo Sustainability Audit Framework for ESG Practices
 

The Office of Student Activities and Ateneo GLP 2023 delegates developed the Organization Sustainability Audit (Matrix) as a framework for embedding sustainability practices aligned with Laudato Si’ principles into University activities, especially student organizations. The audit focuses on sustainability across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions, ensuring current needs are met without compromising the future. It assesses the student organizations’ sustainability practices while addressing environmental impact, ethical awareness, and resource use.

Key components include:

  1. Current Organizational State – Evaluating existing sustainability practices, such as awareness campaigns, use of recyclable materials, and carbon footprint offsets, without ranking or grading.

  2. Organizational Events – Assessing sustainability measures in event planning, including meat-free food options, carpooling arrangements, and waste generation.

  3. Sustainability Knowledge –  evaluate the perceived relevance of various concepts, such as water consumption and waste management, to sustainability in the context of youth organizations, using a ranking matrix to gauge their alignment with sustainable practices.

  4. Sustainability Goals – Identifying the organization’s short- and long-term objectives for improving sustainability.

Through this comprehensive audit, the Office of Student Activities and the Ateneo GLP 2023 delegates aim to empower student organizations to adopt actionable sustainability strategies. This will ensure a culture of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance aligned with the University’s Laudato Si thrust.
