Compass for Social Sustainability and Responsibility

According to a recent study by Times Higher Education, prospective international students are more likely to choose a university based on its commitment to sustainability than on its location. This applicant preference is becoming even more important due to the declining number of students in Germany in the future. Current decisions on higher education strategy will set the course for the extent to which a university will be seen as attractive and reputable in terms of social sustainability in the coming years.

The “Compass for Social Sustainability and Responsibility”, a new consultancy service for higher education institutions from CHE Consult and XOLAS, offers you the chance to set the right course for a future-robust higher education institution.

Our offer includes:

• Evaluation & Analysis:
  Determination of the status quo with regard to social sustainability and accountability at your university, preparation of an analysis report with recommendations for implementation.
• Strategy development:
  Development of guidelines and measures, establishment of the topic of sustainability and responsibility in the university.
• Implementation support:
  Introduction of an implementation methodology to achieve the goals.

Your institution of higher education is developing from within into an organisation that embraces the values of social sustainability and responsibility.
