Mapúa University has once again demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and innovation, earning a notable placement in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2025. The international ranking system evaluates universities across the world based on how they are dedicated to environmental stewardship, green initiatives, and sustainable practices. In this year’s ranking, the centennial university has been recognized as the 1,203rd World’s Most Sustainable University and clinched the 69th spot all over the Philippines. These figures segmented the institution’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into its academic framework, campus operations, and community engagement. A global benchmark for sustainability The UI GreenMetric ranking is widely acknowledged as a benchmark for universities striving to balance academic excellence with environmental sustainability. It is an annual sustainability ranking of universities initiated by Universitas Indonesia. It also assesses universities worldwide based on their commitment to sustainability. The metric ranking aims to increase awareness and encourage continuous improvement in sustainable campus practices. Since its launch in 2010, UI GreenMetric has evolved into a global standard for measuring university sustainability efforts. Initially published with participation from 95 universities, the ranking steadily expanded its scope by introducing new indicators and categories that show the growing role of higher education institutions in addressing environmental and social challenges. Mapúa University ranked 1203rd globally The university garnered an overall performance rating of 43.85%. UI GreenMetric uses a point-based scoring across different key indicators. In this overall score, Mapúa earned 675 points in Water Management and 1025 points in Education & Research. Other indicators category scores include Energy and Climate Change with 1015 points, Waste Management with 775 points, Transportation with 560 points, and Setting and Infrastructure with 335 points. This just emphasizes Mapúa’s steady progress in different key environmental and academic indicators. Mapúa’s inclusion in the list underscores its proactiveness in promoting eco-friendly practices, from energy conservation and waste management to sustainable infrastructure and curriculum development. This achievement is not only a recognition of past efforts but also a motivation to further strengthen Mapúa’s sustainability roadmap. By embedding green initiatives into its programs, the university aims to prepare students to become leaders in addressing global challenges such as climate change and resource management. Strengthening collective action In his message to the participating universities, GreenMetric Chairperson Dr. Vishnu Juwono, S.E., MIA, UI expressed his thanks for all the higher education institutions’ collective effort to promote a sustainable future. “Together, through measurable action and collective learning, we can accelerate progress and create an impact that extends beyond campuses into communities and the wider world. Thank you for your commitment and for being a part of this shared journey toward a more sustainable future.” Juwono stated. As sustainability becomes an increasingly central priority, universities’ performance in the UI GreenMetric ranking showcases their strong commitment to academic excellence paired with environmental responsibility.
