Sustainability
Australian University believes that as a leading educational institution, it has a vital role to play in addressing the social and environmental challenges. AU aims to build a sustainable, inclusive, and equitable community. Its commitment to Community Social Responsibility “CSR” extends beyond its classrooms and research laboratories.
As part of AU’s ongoing contribution to CSR objectives, both academic and non-academic departments actively participate in a range of community service initiatives. Notably, AU hosted a forum in 2022 in collaboration with The World Bank Group Kuwait, titled “Rethinking Education for a Prosperous and Sustainable Future.” This initiative stems from the global debate about the current higher education system not aligning with the practicality and dynamics of the job market. The forum aimed to explore reforms with awareness of both risks and opportunities, advocating for an educational system that promotes a sustainable future.” For more information click here.

Waste Management
Paper & Plastic Waste:
One of the cornerstones of the Waste Management strategy involves partnering with MyPrint Smart Printing Solutions. This collaboration focuses on the responsible disposal and recycling of paper and plastic waste. Throughout the university’s campus, there are labeled bins thoughtfully placed to encourage proper waste disposal and recycling habits among our community members. By doing so, it cultivates a culture of conscientious waste management within the university.
Green Initiatives
Transportation:
AU is committed to promoting sustainable transportation practices to reduce environmental impact and enhance the overall well-being of our community. To facilitate responsible commuting, we encourage the implementation of carpooling initiatives among students and staff. Carpooling not only contributes to the reduction of individual carbon footprints but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration. To further support sustainable transportation, our institution provides access to efficient and eco-friendly bus services for students. These buses are strategically scheduled to accommodate the diverse needs of our student body, ensuring reliable and environmentally conscious transportation options. By fostering a culture of shared rides and offering accessible public transportation alternatives, we aim to create a campus environment that aligns with our commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management".
