CUT has established a Sustainable Investment Policy that guides its investment decisions and resource allocation in alignment with the UN’s 17 SDGs. This Policy ensures that all investments are made responsibly, with integrity and transparency, and are consistent with both the university’s mission and relevant legal frameworks.
As a publicly funded institution, CUT’s capacity to invest from its own budget is limited. However, when investments are made, they are directed towards initiatives that promote sustainable development.
Specifically, the University may invest in:
- Centers of Excellence: Non-profit entities focused on high-level scientific research and innovation. CUT participates in these centers, which adhere to green development policies and align with the 17 SDGs.
- Spin-off Companies: Enterprises established by university staff to commercialize research outcomes. These companies operate in accordance with the 17 SDGs, and any returns from such investments are reinvested for the university’s benefit.
