The university's aim is to establish a solid foundation for the successful implementation of its strategic sustainability objectives. As an integral part of this, CU seeks to consolidate its management within the organisation through several key areas:
Existing and newly created structures across all university units are used for transparent internal communication, collaboration, and awareness of sustainability issues. Awareness raising activities are focused on the Key Areas of the university's administration and operations. The aim of these activities is to continuously raise awareness amongst students and staff of the university, thereby reducing negative impacts on the environment and society.
By creating Strategic Materials, implementing them in the university's operations and regularly monitoring progress in the area of sustainability, CU has clearly presented its plan Towards Sustainability 2030. The strategic goals regarding sustainability are not only declarative, but are also practically implemented and lead to positive long-term changes. The university is aware of the dynamic nature of sustainability issues and will therefore update its Strategy at least at five-year intervals. It also ensures that the Sustainable Development Strategy is consistent with other CU's strategic materials being prepared or updated, and integrates elements of sustainable development into other areas of management and operations.
Funding for sustainable development activities is secured from internal and external sources with proven ethical origins, including EU projects, national programmes and verified foundations and donors. The long-term financial efficiency of planned measures is to be reflected in the refinancing of follow-up activities in the area of sustainability, which will lead to the gradual development of this area at Charles University.
