As a university of applied sciences, SUPSI is aware of its key role in fostering the transition to a more sustainable society. The SUPSI Strategy 2021 - 2024 includes the strategic objective "Sustainable Development", which lays the foundations for integrating the global objectives of sustainable development into the management of the institution and the execution of its mandates.
For the effective implementation of measures to achieve the strategic objectives and with a view to continuous improvement, each department, affiliated school and directorate has its own four-year action plan. In addition to these, there is the Equal Opportunities, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan. These plans describe the respective fields of education and the research and management activities of the institution for the next two years. Sustainability finds ample space in each of them.
Sustainability together with equal opportunities are anchored to the SUPSI Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) through a dedicated process. This relates transversally to the other key management processes with the aim of fostering the continuous improvement of the entire institution.
The Sustainability Charter defines the commitments and methods for implementing the principles of sustainability at SUPSI, in line with the principles of the institutional philosophy and in relation to all key processes included in the Quality Assurance System. It was approved by the SUPSI Council in April 2020.
