As part of its commitment to long-term sustainability, UGM has established a sustainable investment policy that prioritizes financial independence, environmental responsibility, and efficient resource management. This policy ensures that university investments and business developments support sustainability goals while maintaining economic resilience.
In accordance with the Board of Trustees Regulation Number 1 Year 2021, UGM is committed to maintaining sustainability, fulfilling needs adequately, and achieving financial independence through increased resource management efficiency (pg. 23). Furthermore, UGM is dedicated to business development that enhances financial sustainability and self-reliance (pg. 24). This policy also strengthens the foundation set by Rector’s Decree Number 157 Year 2020 and Rector’s Decree Number 911 Year 2018.
Aligned with the University’s Master Plan on Campus Transportation, UGM promotes the use of environmentally friendly energy through three core concepts (pg. 8): 1) Zero Emission, 2) One Gate Campus, and 3) Better Campus Network. The use of electric vehicles and the installation of power systems based on renewable energy in UGM buildings are encouraged to replace carbon-intensive sources such as coal and oil. These efforts are further guided by the Technical Guidance on Building Planning, Maintenance, and Conservation (pg. 22).
