BAU’s Divestment Policy

A divestment policy represents a formal institutional commitment to withdraw investments from companies involved in carbon-intensive energy industries, such as coal and oil, to ensure that financial practices align with sustainability and climate objectives.

At BAU, this concept aligns closely with its overarching sustainability vision. BAU demonstrates a strong commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through continuous improvement policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting clean and renewable energy sources. The university’s actions emphasize operational sustainability by implementing a comprehensive Climate Action Plan, expanding reliance on solar power, and improving energy efficiency within its buildings.

For BAU and similar public universities, it reflects the ethical management of financial resources ensuring investments do not support industries that contribute to climate change, but rather those that advance the transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable future.
