The University of Shizuoka has established an Environmental Charter to elaborate on its efforts for environment conservation.
Fundamental principles
Through all of its activities, including education and research, the University of Shizuoka strives to lessen its environmental impact and to create and sustain an enriched learning environment while also accumulating, and training graduates on, scientific knowledge related to environmental protection. By addressing environmental issues locally and in the international community, the University contributes to social progress and to sustainable coexistence between humanity and nature.
Principles
To realize these fundamental principles, all members of the University, including students, faculty, and staff, carry out the following activities.
