Chulalongkorn University is dedicated to advancing operations that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), supporting sustainable development across 17 goals. This commitment is embedded through four primary roles: policy and operational practices, research and innovation, teaching and learning, and outreach and social engagement.
To establish systematic, efficient, and sustainable energy management, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and consider environmental impacts, Chulalongkorn University has outlined a sustainable and efficient energy management and conservation policy. All university departments are encouraged to follow these guidelines:

Follow criteria such as TREES (Thai’s Rating of Energy and Environmental Sustainability) by the Thai Green Building Institute.
Clause 6: Promote environmentally friendly procurement practices by prioritizing products and services certified by eco-labels (Green Label or Green Cart) and considering partnerships or investments with businesses that practice energy and environmental conservation to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
