Paul College of Business and Economics: Sustainable Development Goals: Introduction

The Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics is a top business school at one of the most sustainable universities in the country, the University of New Hampshire. As a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), an initiative of the United Nations Compact, we engage students in leading for an improved way of doing business that also makes the world better.

UNH is home to the oldest endowed sustainability program in the U.S. As we look forward in the Sustainability Institute’s 25th year, we will continue to act with courage to build powerful collaborations that can deepen UNH’s commitment to sustainability and enhance our contributions in our communities.

Our long-time commitment drives us today to bring diverse people and ideas together to make UNH a model sustainable learning community - reaching across and beyond campus to engage state, regional, national, and international partners to advance sustainable solutions, together.

In fall 2021, UNH achieved a renewed STARS Platinum rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), one of only a handful of schools in the nation to achieve this highest level of sustainability
performance among colleges and universities. UNH's Platinum rating was made possible through
a long-term, concerted, and university-wide effort that engaged faculty, staff, and students.
