De La Salle Lipa has been recognized as a top performer in the 2024 Sustainable Campus Index, securing the 9th position in the area of Wellbeing and Work Category, and 12th International Top Performer among 355 Higher Educational institutions. A publication from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), the Sustainable Campus Index recognizes top-performing sustainable colleges and universities overall and in 17 impact areas, as measured through the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS).
DLSL earned its top performer status by offering sustainable initiatives promoting the wellness and wellbeing of its Lasallian Partners and stakeholders. As an example, its Human Resources Development Office promotes mental health and employee development through seminars and engagement activities; the Safety & Security Office monitors workplace safety and maintains a responsive emergency team; and the Student Services champions students’ mental health and overall wellbeing. By prioritizing health, and safety, DLSL fosters a supportive, sustainable environment, recognizing that institutional success is rooted in community wellbeing.
With this recognition, DLSL stands as the only academic institution in Asia included in the Top Performer indicator for Wellbeing and Work. The institution stands alongside two other Asian institutions to be highlighted as International Top Performer for Sustainability.
“All of us at AASHE extend our warmest congratulations to De La Salle Lipa for their achievement,” applauded AASHE’s Executive Director, Meghan Fay Zahniser. “By fostering sustainable practices and initiatives, you set an inspiring example for your peers and future generations.
