According to the Maejo University Green Report 2024
and the Green Office Metrics – Section 6: Procurement and Hiring, Maejo
University integrates its Responsible Investment and Green Procurement
Policy with a strong commitment to divesting from carbon-intensive
energy industries, especially coal and oil. The policy aligns with both the
Green University Master Plan and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy),
mandating that all financial and procurement decisions support low-carbon,
resource-efficient, and environmentally friendly outcomes. Under Section 6,
Maejo prioritizes contracts and purchases that promote renewable energy,
clean technology, and green-certified products, ensuring institutional
funding excludes fossil fuel–related industries. Investments are redirected to solar
energy systems, biogas production, smart irrigation, and energy-saving
infrastructure. Regular sustainability audits verify compliance and
environmental impact reduction. These integrated financial–procurement
mechanisms advance Maejo’s vision of a carbon-neutral, resource-resilient
university by 2050, setting a strong benchmark for higher education
sustainability governance.
