Since its establishment in 1934, Thammasat University has upheld the principle of “For the People,” standing as a pillar of knowledge, democracy, and social justice in Thailand. Today, as a comprehensive university excelling across diverse fields—including social sciences, science and technology, and medical science—our commitment to sustainability is stronger than ever. We are dedicated to advancing sustainable development through an interdisciplinary approach, addressing critical challenges from multiple perspectives and driving impactful change within our institution and society at large.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of Thammasat University’s mission. Guided by the ONE TU policy, our vision for sustainability is centered around three strategic goals:
1. To become a leading comprehensive university of the future,
2. To serve as a university for society, and
3. To foster happiness and sustainability within the Thammasat University community.
These pillars support our dedication to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by integrating social responsibility, environmental consciousness, and educational impact. Our initiatives reflect this commitment, from the affordable meals at the Imsuk Canteen and scholarships for underprivileged students to our Safe Food initiative and the goal of carbon-neutral events and a 50% recycling rate. Education for Sustainable Development lies at the core of our curriculum, equipping students with the skills and knowledge to tackle future challenges, while our research efforts focus on impactful innovations, including solutions for an aging society.
This Thammasat University Sustainability Report 2023 encapsulates our journey and achievements over the past year, presenting our efforts to drive positive change through partnerships, education, and research that align with sustainable development. Through long-term collaborations with local communities and a commitment to continuous improvement, we aim to build a more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable future.
We invite you to explore this report to see how Thammasat University remains steadfast in its mission to serve society and protect our planet for generations to come.
