The University of Zurich published its fourth Sustainability Report in May 2025. For the first time, it is structured according to the objectives of the Implementation Strategy 2030 for the Sustainability Policy. This is intended to facilitate the connection between the described measures and the objectives of the Implementation Strategy. Furthermore the transparency of the achievement of goals is improved. The status of goal achievement is divided into four levels (no progress made, relative improvements achieved, on track, and goal achieved). In the reporting years 2023 and 2024, one goal was already achieved after four out of ten years. For six other objectives of the implementation strategy, the level of goal achievement increased by one level. For one objective, the level had to be adjusted downward compared to the previous reporting period. For the other 15 objectives, the level achieved up to 2022 was maintained. This development can be viewed with great satisfaction. However, it is important to continue on track to achieve UZH's ambitious sustainability goals.
For more information on the achievement status, as well as the measures, activities, and highlights from the reporting period, please read the report. It is available as a PDF document in German:
