Sustainability
Sustainable commitments
Contribute to the implementation of a society that understands and respects socio-ecosystemic processes, nature and the limits of the biosphere, that implements social and eco-nomic justice and global equity, and that contributes to a culture of peace, for present and future generations.
In this respect, our commitment is fully in line with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as defined by the United Nations.
The sustainability report by the ULB
The first sustainability report by the ULB aims to show how ULB is acting today and how it intends to improve its contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the future, in its teaching and research missions, but also in the management of its campuses and as an actor organisation at the heart of the city.
Teaching
L'ULB souhaite que chaque diplômée et diplômé acquière une compréhension critique des enjeux de la durabilité et renforce autant sa capacité à penser de manière systémique que sa volonté à agir en faveur d’une transition écologique et solidaire.
Inventory of sustainability-related courses | Sustainability knowledge | Support for teachers | Civic engagement | Decoding the information
Research
Scientific research plays an essential role in understanding the challenges and conditions of a sustainable society.
More than 50 ULB research units devote all or part of their work to issues that contribute directly or indirectly to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Support for innovative research | Interdisciplinary institutes | Transdisciplinary experience | Living labs and citizen science | Open Science
Environmental management
Since 2006, ULB is gradually implementing a series of actions aimed at reducing the negative impact of its activities on the environment. ULB is making increasingly demanding commitments and its achievements are multiplying.
Climate | Mobility | Energy | Water | Food | Green spaces | Purchasing | Waste | Investments
Community
The movement to democratise higher education has led to a sharp increase in the number of students at ULB. The University is also one of the biggest employers in the Brussels region. Ever since it was founded, the University has gone well beyond its legal obligations in its efforts to care for its community. Yet the challenges are enormous.
Health and well-being | Diversity | Careers | Help to succeed | Student housing
Society
Being committed to serving society is part of its DNA. Lifelong learning, social, cultural and economic development of society, solidarity and promotion of civic engagement: many of the Sustainable Development Goals are an integral part of its history and functioning. It also intends to be a University open to its environment and active in the city.
Dissemination of knowledge | Citizenship | Campuses integrated into the city | Solidarity | International cooperation
Governance
To manage this transition, ULB relies on an inspiring vision of an ecological and sustainable society, which envisages a positive future by thinking about transformations based on creative and solidarity-conscious solutions.
