PoliTO is one of the most sustainable universities in Italy and the World

PoliTO is among the most sustainable Universities in Italy and the World. That is according to the results of the GreenMetric World University Rankings, one of the most renowned international rankings, which compares universities by assessing their environmental and social sustainability. In the latest survey of the ranking, published in 2024, Politenico remains steadily among the top 20 worldwide and fourth in Italy.

The ranking aims to evaluate the actions that Universities put in place on sustainable development, analyzing very different areas: infrastructure, actions on energy consumption, waste management system, water recovery and treatment, choices for improving transportation and active mobility, and finally the attention that each University pays to sustainability-related topics in its research and educational programs.

PoliTO has been participating in the GreenMetric ranking for years and has recently shown a rapid rise among the world's most virtuous universities, not affected by the 25 percent increase in the number of participants in the latest edition.
