Strengthening sustainability is a key strategic goal for Obuda University, and this year we have reached another important milestone. According to the latest results of the QS Sustainability Ranking, our institution advanced from last year’s 981–990th position to 887th place, marking an improvement of more than one hundred positions.
This remarkable progress confirms the conscious and consistent work carried out over the past years by the university community – from students and lecturers to institutional experts – to reinforce sustainability, the ESG approach and responsible operations.
The Role of Sustainability Goes Far Beyond Environmental Considerations
Sustainable operation at a higher education institution is not limited to environmental responsibility. Green operations, transparent decision-making, social responsibility and economic sustainability all contribute to ensuring that:
- students gain the knowledge that prepares them for future challenges,
- research and development directions align with global sustainability goals,
- and the university’s role as a social model continues to strengthen.
Today, sustainable operation has become a prerequisite for innovation: modern solutions can only be successful if they also serve the interests of the environment and communities.
What Does the Advancement in the Ranking Indicate?
Obuda University’s improvement in the QS Sustainability Ranking shows that the institution is not only following international sustainability trends, but is also actively shaping them. The result reinforces a path where modern, competitive and responsible operations coexist.
The progress is driven by several factors:
- the continuous development of the university’s sustainability ecosystem,
- strengthening professional collaborations,
- and the commitment of both students and staff.
Committed to an Even Greener Future
Obuda University continues to work towards becoming even more transparent, greener and more innovative in all areas of its operation. The current result provides valuable confirmation: we are on the right track, and through cooperation we can achieve an even greater impact.
Sustainability is not a finished project, but a continuous process of development – and we are proud that the Obuda University community actively and responsibly shapes this future year after year.
