“Sustainability is no longer an option. It is an imperative.”
Universities worldwide are embedding sustainability into research, curricula, and operations.
At LAU, we have taken a decisive step by establishing the Office for Sustainability (OfS) in March 2024.
Established in the spring of 2024, the Office for Sustainability (OfS) leads and coordinates university-wide efforts to implement a university-wide strategy aligned with the institution’s goals to foster environmental responsibility, social impact, and sustainable governance.
Sustainability at LAU is not just about policies, it is about people.
Our goal is to integrate sustainability into research, teaching, operations, and campus infrastructure. By engaging students, faculty, and staff, we cultivate a culture of sustainability awareness and action across the University and its Medical Centers. A key part of our mission is monitoring and reporting on sustainability performance, including Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics. We stay informed on best practices, trends, and regulations in the education sector, providing policy recommendations that position the University as a sustainability leader.
Who we collaborate with
- Council of Deans
- Academic Departments
- University Committees
- Facilities Managment
- Administrative Staff
Beyond campus …
… we represent the University in sustainability-related forums and events, building relationships with external stakeholders, community partners, and funding bodies to advance sustainability initiatives. Through guidance, training, and capacity-building programs, we empower students, faculty, and staff to incorporate sustainability best practices into their work and daily lives
By identifying opportunities for growth, securing funding, and cultivating strategic partnerships, the Office for Sustainability continues to drive meaningful change, reinforcing the University’s commitment to a more sustainable future.
