Sustainability Strategy at BUT
Ensuring the sustainable development of our university is one of the priorities that we at the BUT pay great attention to. That is why we have a dedicated team of experts led by the Vice-Rector for Arts and Sustainability.
It is our intention that the principles of sustainability are not only reflected in long-term plans, but are part of the daily operations of the university.
We have worked with all faculties and university institutes on our Sustainability Strategy. This allowed us to focus even more precisely on the potential we have at the university.

Annual Sustainability Report
We are presenting our first 2024 Annual Sustainability Report. This document represents a significant milestone in our commitment to transparency and social responsibility.
In 2024, we took an important step towards a systematic approach to sustainability. We decided to map and document our activities that contribute to fulfilling the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This first report not only summarizes our efforts to date, but also creates a foundation for future development and improvement.
In the coming years, we will continue to systematically monitor and improve our impact on society and the environment.
