The University of La Laguna reaffirms its social and environmental commitment following the results of CYD Sustainable Universities Ranking 2026<\/a>, Prepared by the Knowledge and Development Foundation (CYD Foundation). In this second edition, the Tenerife institution achieves the highest relative performance category in four of the evaluated indicators, a result that reflects its commitment to integrating the principles of sustainability and social responsibility into all areas of university activity.<\/p>\n

This ranking analyzes the performance of 84 Spanish universities in areas related to equality, inclusion, health and well-being, social action, and environmental management. Of the participating institutions, 79 are on-campus and five offer distance learning; 48 belong to the public system and 36 are private universities. The ranking is based on 18 indicators (nine related to the social dimension and nine to the environmental dimension), developed from sustainability reporting guidelines, international standards, and the universities' own strategic plans.<\/p>\n

In the area of social commitment, the University of La Laguna excels in indicators related to awareness-raising activities against sexual harassment and gender-based violence, as well as in its support for students with disabilities. In this area, the university develops a comprehensive program of training and awareness-raising activities on sexual harassment and gender-based violence, while also allocating a significant portion of its budget to social action initiatives.<\/p>\n

Regarding environmental commitment, the University of La Laguna excels in the indicators of waste generated per square meter and energy consumption per square meter. These indicators assess, respectively, the amount of waste generated by the university during 2024 and the total energy consumption recorded in that same year in relation to the total surface area of the buildings used by the institution.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Tenerife institution registers an intermediate performance in the indicators relating to the presence of female professors or ordinary teachers, as well as in those linked to research in environmental sustainability, specifically in the number of doctoral theses defended and in the research groups focused on this topic.<\/p>\n

The indicators presented in this ranking were calculated from a questionnaire sent to universities, designed to gather specific information on social and environmental dimensions, as well as from data compiled by the SCImago group, which provides bibliometric metrics related to research talent and the gender dimension of research staff. All data have undergone a verification and quality control process.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Sustainable Universities Ranking maintains the methodological approach and analytical criteria of the CYD Ranking. Its objective is to offer a comprehensive view of the performance of Spanish universities in terms of sustainability and social responsibility, allowing for the identification of best practices and areas for improvement in both fields.<\/p>\n
