12.4.1. Publication of a sustainability report

Middle East Technical University (METU) publishes an annual Sustainability Report documenting the University's sustainability policies, initiatives, and performance. The METU Sustainability Report 2025 (https://sustainablecampus.metu.edu.tr/en/system/files/Sustainability_Report/metu_sr_2025.pdf) covers all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with dedicated sections outlining the University's policies, campus operations, research, education, and community engagement activities during 2025.

METU has maintained an annual sustainability reporting practice since 2019. The reports for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 are available through the University's Sustainable Campus website. This recurring publication provides a consistent means of documenting and communicating METU's sustainability activities and progress over time.

By publishing its sustainability report annually and making the reports publicly accessible, METU supports institutional transparency and enables stakeholders to review its sustainability initiatives and contributions to the SDGs.
