The Application Study of Green Metrics at 2 Indonesian Conservation Universities

The awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability is the hottest issue discussed in the last decade. The university as a public entity operating in the field of education and research, should pay attention to the interests of students, employees, lecturers, and the community affected by its operational activities directly and indirectly, environmentally and socially. This concept is known as the University Social Responsibility (USR). This research is primary research at 2 universities in Indonesia; the Universitas Indonesia, and the Universitas Diponegoro. Based on the assessment made by the UI Green Metric 2018, these 2 universities are the top 3 conservation universities in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive qualitative with indicators consisting of setting and infrastructure; energy and climate change; waste; water; transportation; education and research. This study was aimed to examine the perceptions of university stakeholders (such as lecturers, students, and employees) over the assessment of the UI Green Metric.
