Green International University (GIU), Lahore, demonstrates strong commitment to SDG 12 by integrating responsible consumption and production across research, operations, and campus management. GIU conducts high-quality research on sustainable materials, circular economy, resource efficiency, and waste management. Publications consistently appear in top 10% Scopus-indexed journals, achieving strong CiteScore and FWCI, while research outputs include articles, book chapters, and conference papers on ethical consumption and sustainable production.

Operational policies reinforce sustainability: ethical sourcing ensures responsible procurement of supplies, food, and services; hazardous materials are managed under dedicated disposal policies; and landfill and recycling policies track waste, maximize recycling, and minimize environmental impact. Policies reducing single-use plastics and disposable items extend to outsourced services and suppliers. Waste tracking monitors total waste, recycling, and landfill diversion in metric tonnes for evidence-based improvement. Annual sustainability reports document research, operational measures, and progress toward SDG 12, enhancing transparency.

GIU will advance research and innovation in sustainable materials, circular economy practices, resource efficiency, and waste management. The University will enhance operational sustainability policies, including ethical sourcing, hazardous materials management, and waste monitoring, while extending these practices to outsourced services and suppliers. Annual sustainability reports will provide comprehensive, data-driven insights to strengthen transparency and facilitate continuous improvement. Through integrated research, policy development, and evidence-based operational practices, GIU will maintain measurable contributions to SDG 12, promoting responsible consumption, sustainable production, and environmental stewardship across the campus, community, and broader society.
