Our University has embraced sustainability as one of its core values in its inception and strategy. The University sees it as its mission to serve as a pioneering higher education institution that strives to minimize the adverse environmental, social, cultural, and economic effects of its own activities, and leads society for a sustainable life style. In line with this mission and value, Özyeğin University aims to create and share knowledge about, and raise awareness of sustainability, and contribute to this multi-disciplinary and transdisciplinary environment. For this purpose, while addressing sustainable development academically, Özyeğin University endeavored to develop a university model which fosters a sustainable life style among all its participants/stakeholders. Drawing from this goal, the University established the OzU- SP ‘Sustainability Platform as a multidisciplinary, multi-participant/stakeholder, comprehensive, and integrated model.
