Policies on Divesting Investment

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.
