BINUS University demonstrates a strong and proactive commitment to sustainability education by integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its academic and extracurricular initiatives. The university fully supports the 17 SDGs as part of its global responsibility to reduce poverty, improve health and education, address climate change, and preserve forests and oceans through collaborative action.

To embed sustainability into learning, BINUS offers:

Minor Program in Sustainable Development: A dedicated minor program available to all eligible students, designed to equip them with knowledge and skills to contribute toward global sustainability, through courses such as Sustainable Design and Manufacture, Digital for Sustainable Development, and Introduction to Sustainable Development, regardless of their discipline.

Curriculum Integration of SDGs: Selected study programs, such as Food Technology, align directly with SDGs like Zero Hunger and Good Health and Well-Being, ensuring students encounter sustainability concepts early in their academic journey.

Beyond these programs, more than 20% of BINUS’s active courses across all disciplines incorporate SDG-related content. Some courses are directly aligned with specific SDGs—for instance, programs such as Food Technology, Psychology, and Biotechnology address goals related to Zero Hunger and Good Health and Well-Being. Others adopt an integrative approach, embedding sustainability principles within broader subjects to build students’ critical awareness of environmental, social, and economic impacts in real-world contexts.

Product Design Engineering (PDE) at BINUS ASO School of Engineering also integrates sustainability within its curriculum by prioritizing human-centered design and sustainable product development aligned with Making Indonesia 4.0 and Society 5.0. The program promotes a holistic approach built on Breakthrough, Agility, Sustainability, and Empowerment, encouraging students to innovate responsibly for long-term impact.

Entrepreneurship and Ideation-Based Learning: Through courses like Entrepreneurship and Product Design, students develop innovations addressing SDG challenges across categories such as Technopreneurship, Creativepreneurship, Sociopreneurship, and Foodpreneurship. These ideation activities—ranging from brainstorming to prototyping—foster practical, impactful solutions for global issues.

In addition, BINUS Business School has introduced the Sustainability Leadership Program 2024, which empowers current and future leaders to understand sustainability trends, enhance leadership skills, and drive meaningful change within their organizations. This program reflects the university’s vision of preparing leaders capable of navigating global risks while promoting sustainable growth.

Together, these initiatives highlight BINUS University’s comprehensive approach to sustainability: from classroom learning and leadership development to innovation and entrepreneurship. By mainstreaming sustainability education and fostering global collaboration, BINUS ensures its students and graduates are ready to take part in solving the world’s most pressing challenges.
