Sustainability at Catholic University of Louvain

Every day, the Catholic University of Louvain confirms its commitment towards sustainable development and social responsibility, including the entire university community, including the mobilization of students, researchers, teachers and staff members. An action plan has been implemented since 2010 to coordinate all initiatives taken by members of the university community and to insure that the university remains consistent with its community values.

The goal: to make sure that the University is an actor in the transition towards a sustainable world and ensure that this transition is also occurring within its own walls.
