Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) is systematically
advancing its Green University agenda by integrating
environmental responsibility and sustainability into
institutional policies, management practices, education,
and campus life. This commitment supports global efforts
to address climate change and guides the University towards
Carbon Neutrality and Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions
in the future.
On 30 March 2026, SWU officially announced its Green
University Policy and established a steering committee
to provide strategic direction and coordinate
university-wide implementation. The policy encompasses
six key dimensions: setting and infrastructure; energy
and climate change; waste management; water management;
sustainable transportation; and sustainability-focused
education and research.
Key initiatives include raising environmental awareness,
developing green-area and greenhouse-gas databases,
building institutional capacity in carbon footprint
assessment and carbon credits, expanding and conserving
green spaces, restoring ecosystems, and promoting Green
Office certification across university units through
coaching and the exchange of good practices.
SWU also encourages students, staff, and external partners
to participate in creating a healthier and more
environmentally responsible campus community.
To strengthen accountability and benchmark its progress
internationally, SWU is preparing for participation in the
UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. The assessment
framework will serve as a strategic tool for monitoring
performance, identifying opportunities for improvement,
and continuously enhancing the University’s environmental
management system.
SWU’s Green University journey extends beyond individual
environmental activities. It represents an institution-wide
transformation towards a learning organisation that uses
resources responsibly, reduces its environmental impact,
and creates shared value for society—contributing to a
more sustainable university and a better future for
generations to come.
