Governance allows us to implement policies, actions, and processes that ensure the sustainability of our organization while addressing the needs of present and future generations. In addition, good governance must involve multiple stakeholders—including professors, staff, students, and the entire community—focusing on transparency, accountability, and responsibility.
At Facens University Center, we have a Sustainability Committee composed of representatives from different areas, which meets biweekly to plan, implement, and monitor initiatives based on the four sustainability pillars, while also ensuring this perspective is embedded across all our actions.

In June, members of the Facens Sustainability Committee, focused on GreenMetric initiatives, participated in “The 7th National Workshop on UI GreenMetric for Universities in Brazil: Building a Sustainable University” at the Institute of Energy and Environment (IEE), University City – Butantã Campus, São Paulo/SP.

Since 2019, Facens University Center has promoted its annual sustainability event through the Sustainability Committee, in celebration of the anniversary of the 2030 Agenda. At the “5th Facens Meeting: Education for a Sustainable Future,” all staff members were invited to learn about the 2023 Sustainability Report, highlighting the institution’s progress and commitments. On this occasion, we also celebrated the opening of applications for the Facens Sustainable Educator Award, which recognizes faculty members who are making a difference in environmental education.
A tribute was also paid to Professor Ana Carolina Camargo Francisco, who has been a fundamental pillar in the Facens Sustainability Committee and in the institution’s GreenMetric achievements.
The event also featured a powerful speech about Regenerar, an innovative program designed to support the transition toward a more sustainable and regenerative economy and culture. Employees of Facens University Center have the opportunity to access Regenerar, free of charge, directly through the Corporate University (UniFacens).
