The success of our application validates the proactive nature of our policy, which has led the Board of Governors to adopt the SD-SER (sustainable development and social and environmental responsibility) Master Plan, setting concrete and quantifiable objectives for training students and staff and reducing our environmental footprint.


For Gilles Bonnet, President of Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University:
This award is both a great recognition and a valuable encouragement, validating and rewarding the work of our University School of Ecological Transition and the mobilisation of the entire university community, students, staff, services, component entities and laboratories. The award underlines the quality of our university’s commitments to ecological transition, reflected in our placement as the leading French university in the UI GreenMetric 2024 ranking.
 

About the award

The SD&SR – Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility – award for higher education was created in 2015. It stems from the collective work of around ten universities and grandes écoles, the Conference of Grandes ?coles (CGE), the Conference of University Presidents (CPU), the Ministry for Sustainable Development, the Ministry for Higher Education and the Student Network for an Ecological and Solidarity-Based Society (RESES).

It provides national and international recognition for the sustainable development and social responsibility initiatives of French higher education and research institutions. It also enables institutions to develop their skills as part of a group of institutions that are committed to participating in the award committee and in auditing candidate institutions.
