Energy Conservation

We aim to manage operations in ways that are environmentally conscious, economically feasible and socially responsible. AU’s Energy Conservation Policy shows how we are significantly reducing consumption.

Water Conservation

Ajman University is conserving – and repurposing – water to keep our campus clean as well as green. Our sewage treatment and reverse osmosis facilities are leading the way every day.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Everyone at AU is encouraged to participate in recycling efforts by separating recyclable from non-recyclable materials -- and by placing recyclable materials in appropriately marked containers.

One-Stop Shopping

Student services at AU have been streamlined into one-stop online solutions. Automated processes reduce time and paper which, in turn, reduces costs and waste. They also eliminate the need for gas consumption!

"A Tree to Set Them Free" Project

Two natural resources firmly rooted in AU -- alumni and trees -- are considered sustainable causes. And we've found a way to take care of both via one remarkable initiative!

Energy and Water Utilization Efficiency

Ajman University promotes efficiency in the utilization of energy and water.

Digitalization

Ajman University (AU) has adopted digitalization since 2018 to improve the quality of business operations, to reduce cost and to reduce its carbon footprint.

Sustainable Investment Policy

Ajman University is a socially responsible institution that promotes community engagement, environmental sustainability and global citizenship while supporting the needs and challenges of the local and global community.

AU Fundraising Policy and Guidelines

All AU fundraising activities are executed in an appropriate and sustainable manner based on consultation with, and authorization from the right AU constituencies.

Sustainability Clubs

These clubs aim to strengthen the students’ leadership in raising awareness and tackling issues of sustainability.
