Sustainable Investment Policy

In line with the vision of Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU) — “Towards a Science, Technology, and Innovation Entrepreneurial University” — and its mission to support sustainable development through education, research, and community service, the university adopts a Sustainable Investment Policy rooted in its core values: innovation, integrity, and societal impact.
This policy supports the university’s strategic objective of achieving financial and human sustainability by ensuring that all financial and investment decisions are aligned with long-term environmental, social, and economic priorities.
PPU is committed to allocating a dedicated budget for the sustainable investments, providing the necessary resources, and developing operations that foster institutional sustainability. Investment will be directed toward sectors such as renewable energy, clean technology, and green infrastructure, with strict exclusion of activities that harm society or the environment.
The university follows international ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, and is also committed to excluding investments that conflict with its values or that may harm the environment or society, and to upholding transparency and accountability in investment decision-making and performance evaluation.
This policy aligns with the university’s commitment to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is practically implemented through the university’s pioneering projects, including the Greening-IE Project funded by Erasmus+, the official press release on the university’s website, and various training and awareness programs in environmental sustainability. This policy is also part of the university’s approved administrative policies.
