“It is our belief that the university’s actions must match its words, and our efforts aimed at sustainability begin on campus. In other words, NTU walks the walk…. Sustainability encompasses a wide range of things, including the actions of our employees and students, and the University’s endeavours in education, research, technological innovation, artistic creativity and service to society.”

– NTU President Prof Subra Suresh on NTU’s resolution to lead by example in its new Sustainability Manifesto. The Manifesto includes plans to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, and will be supported by a $1 billion bond facility. NTU is the world’s first university to issue a publicly-offered sustainability-linked bond.
