As part of the abovementioned efforts, the university likewise designated Sustainability Development Officers (SDOs) per constituent campuses to ensure that the programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) on a campus level are aligned with the SDGs, and approved the University Policy Guidelines for the Attainment of Sustainable Development Goals by virtue of Board Resolution No. 136, s. 2022.
