Sustainability

Leiden University is a integral part of the community and contributes to a sustainable society. Over the coming years our University will become even greener.

Sustainability is a key factor in our societal role, and it is an issue that features strongly not only in the University’s teaching and research but also in its management. We are proud of our good score on the theme of Operational Management in the SustainaBul sustainability ranking. We are working hard to make our education and research even more sustainable.

We largely have our students to thank for the fact that Leiden University is becoming greener. Our students play a critical role in how the University views sustainability and they often take the initiative for projects. 

Leiden University carries out construction and demolition projects as sustainably as possible. By switching to green energy, we make an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.
