The Sustainability Commitments Charter

The Sustainability Commitments Charter defines the University’s sustainability goals for a five-year period (2023-2027), linking scientific-technological innovation and management methods, objectives and measures to be implemented, with a focus on communication and the involvement of all members of the university community. It is a beacon capable of guiding the University’s programming and planning, and of defining areas of collaboration and cooperation with institutions.

The document is divided into four lines of action that apply to the different areas in which environmental, social and economic sustainability are expressed (i.e., resources, environment and energy, mobility and transport, welfare and equal opportunities, inclusion and social justice, education and training), and to cross-cutting areas, such as membership of national and international networks, research, third mission and good practice, communication, monitoring and reporting.

The 2023-2027 Commitment Charter integrates with the University’s planning documents on social sustainability, such as the Gender Equality Plan and the C.U.G. Positive Action Plan.

It also integrates with the Energy Plan adopted as part of the consumption and emission containment measures envisaged in compliance with the National and European policies. The Charter also defines the University’s commitment to achieving the goals of the European climate law “Fit for 55”.

Finally, the alignment with the Strategic Plan 2022-2027 and the connection with the Integrated Business and Organisation Plan, which will annually decline its actions into strategic objectives, were ensured.
