 1. What is UI GreenMetric World University Ranking?

Universitas Indonesia (UI) initiated a world university ranking in 2010, later known as UI
GreenMetric World University Ranking, to measure campus sustainability efforts. It was intended
to create an online survey to portray sustainability programs and policies in universities around the
world.

We based the ranking broadly on the conceptual framework of Environment, Economy, and Equity.
The ranking indicators and categories are intended to be relevant to all. We have designed the
indicators and weightings to be as free of bias as possible. The work of collecting and submitting
data is relatively straightforward and does not make unreasonable demands on staff time.

Ninety five universities from 35 countries took part in the 2010 version of Green Metric: 18 from
the Americas, 35 from Europe, 40 from Asia and 2 from Australasia. In 2015, the ranking has
ranked 407 universities from 65 countries around the world. This shows that UI GreenMetric has
been recognized as the first and only world university ranking on sustainability.

Our theme this year is „from policy into action‟. We would like to focus on universities effort to
implement policy into action. We look into detail universities‟ actions to improve campus
sustainability.

2. What are the objectives?

The ranking aims to:

 Contribute to academic discourses on sustainability in education and the greening of

campuses;
 Promote university-led social change with regard to sustainability goals.
 Be a tool for self-assessment on campus sustainability for higher education institutions
(HEIs) around the globe.
 Inform governments, international and local environmental agencies, and society about
sustainability programs on campus.
3. Who can participate?
All universities in the world which have strong commitments for sustainability issues can
participate in annual UI GreenMetric World University Ranking.

4. What are the benefits?

Universities which participate in GreenMetric by submitting their data to be included in the
ranking can expect to enjoy a number of benefits.

a. Internationalization and recognition

Participation in GreenMetric can help the university‟s efforts at internationalization and

recognition by getting its sustainability efforts on the map. Participation in GreenMetric is
accompanied by increased hits to the university website, more mentions of the institution
connected with the issue of sustainability on web pages, and an increase in correspondence with
institutions which are interested in your organization.

 b. Awareness raising of sustainability issues

Participation can help to raise awareness in the university and beyond about the importance of
sustainability issues. The world faces unprecedented civilizational challenges such as population
trends, global warming, over exploitation of natural resources, oil-dependent energy, water and
food shortages and sustainability. We realize that higher education has a crucial role to play in
addressing these challenges. GreenMetric leverages the crucial role that HEIs can play in raising
awareness by helping assess and compare efforts at education for sustainable development,
sustainability research, campus greening, and social outreach.

c. Social change and action

GreenMetric is primarily about awareness raising, but in future it will be adapted to encourage real
change. Understanding needs to shift to action if we are to address emerging global challenges.

d. Networking

All participants of UI GreenMetric can automatically be a member of UIGWURN (UI GreenMetric

World University Ranking Network). In the network, participant can share best practices on their
sustainability program as well as networking with other participants worldwide by attending annual
UI GreenMetric‟s International Workshop and regional / national workshops hosted by approved
host universities. Participants can arrange technical workshop on UI GreenMetric at their
respective universities.

As a platform to make sustainability issues into action, the network is managed by UI GreenMetric
as secretariat. Programs and directions are proposed and decided by steering committee comprises
of UI GreenMetric secretariat, regional, and national coordinators.

Currently the network comprises of 407 participating universities located on the dynamic and
diverse Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, America and Oceania, 1.266.718 faculty members,
12.502.719 students, with more than US$ 29.380.515.655 total research fund on environment and
sustainability.

5. How can universities participate?

To participate in the ranking is simple. Sustainability director or other person in charge can visit
www.greenmetric.ui.ac.id to learn about the ranking and if interested can e-mail UI GreenMetric
secretariat ([email protected]) to get invitation letter and access to the system. Other
participants in our database will be notified to participate.

6. How is UI GreenMetric World University Ranking developed?

The decision to establish GreenMetric was influenced by a number of factors:

a. Idealism

Future challenges to civilization include population pressure, climate change, energy security,
environmental degradation, water and food security and sustainable development. Despite much
scientific research and public discussion, governments around the world have yet to commit to a
sustainable agenda. Concerned people at Universitas Indonesia see that universities have a
privileged position to help develop a consensus on key areas for action. This includes such concepts

Page 3 of 34
as the Triple Bottom Line, the 3 Es: Equity, Economy, Environment, Green Building, and Education
for Sustainable Development (ESD).

UI GreenMetric World University Ranking serves as a tool for universities to deal with
sustainability challenges our world is facing. Universities can work together to reduce negative
environmental impacts. It is for non-profit. Universities can participate for free.

b. UI GreenMetric World University Ranking model

GreenMetric was not based on any one existing ranking system. It was however developed with
awareness of a number of existing sustainability assessment systems and academic university
rankings. Sustainability systems that were referred to during the design phase of GreenMetric
included: The Holcim Sustainability Awards, GREENSHIP (the rating system recently developed by
the Green Building Council of Indonesia which itself was based on the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) system used in the U.S. and elsewhere), The Sustainability,
Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) and The College Sustainability Report Card (also
known as the Green Report Card).

In general, the instrument adopts environmental sustainability concept that has three elements, i.e.
environmental, economic, and social (Figure 1). Environmental aspect includes natural resource
use, environmental management, and pollution prevention, whereas economic aspect includes
profit and cost saving. Social aspect includes education, community, and social involvement. These
three aspects are captured in the UI GreenMetric criteria.

• Natural resource use

• Environmental
management
• Pollution prevention

• Profit • Education
• Cost saving • Community
• Social
involvement

Meanwhile, university academic ranking systems that were studied during the design phase of
GreenMetric included: the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (THE) sponsored
by Thompson Reuters, the QS World University Rankings, the Academic Ranking of World
Universities (ARWU) published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), and the Webometrics
Ranking of World Universities (Webometrics), published by Cybermetrics Lab, CINDOC-CSIC in
Spain. UI has been one of the members of International Ranking Expert Group (IREG) Observatory
since 2011.

Page 4 of 34
During the early stages of the design of GreenMetric we sought assistance on the issues from
experts in both ranking and in sustainability. These included the holding of a conference on
university ranking and video conferences and expert meetings on sustainability and green building.
The latest workshop on UI GreenMetric was held on November 21 st 2013, in which rectors and
representatives from the following universities share their experiences, i.e University of
Nottingham, Università Ca‟ Foscari Venezia, University of Melbourne, Mahidol University,
Universitat fur Bodenkultur Wien, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo Leon, Kasetsart University,
King Mongkut‟s University of Technology Thonburi, Da Yeh University, Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia.

In 2010, 23 indicators were used within the five categories to calculate the ranking scores. In 2011
34 indicators were used. Then in 2012 we leave the indicator of “smoke free and drug free campus
environment” and used 33 indicators to evaluate the green campus. In 2012, we also categorize the
indicators into 6 category including education criteria. One change being considered is the
formation of a new category for sustainability education and research. In 2015 the theme was
carbon footprint. We add two questions related this issue in the energy and climate change
section.We also improve out methodology by adding a few sub-indicators that related to water and
transportation in 2015 ranking.
c. Realities and challenges

The goal of creating a world university sustainability ranking was done with an understanding that
the diversity of types of universities, their missions and their contexts would pose problems for the
methodology. In particular, we were aware that universities differ with regard to levels of awareness
and commitment to sustainability, to their budgets, the amount of green cover on their campuses
and many other dimensions. These issues are complex but GreenMetric is committed to continually
improving the ranking so that it will be both useful and fair to all.

7. Who are the team?

UI GreenMetric World University Ranking is run by a team under the Rector of Universitas
Indonesia. The team members come from different academic backgrounds and experiences, such as
ecology, sustainability, anthropology, engineering, architecture and urban design, statistics, and

9. Who are our networks?
This idealism surrounding awareness of sustainability issues is now generating a network of
likeminded organizations. UI is a member of the International Ranking Experts Group (IREG)
and a signatory to UN Commitments such as that on Sustainable Practices of Higher Education
Institutions for the Rio 2012 Conference on Sustainable Development. We have also presented
our progress at the International Sustainable Campus Network (ISCN) – GULF-WEF
Symposium 2012, together with other Data Monitoring and Evaluation of Sustainability in
Higher Education Report such as the College Sustainability Green Report Card and GRI. UI
GreenMetric also has been presented at the Quality Education Conference in Universidad
Autónoma de Nuevo Leon, Mexico, on October 2013 and the Sustainability, University Ranking
Conference at the Università Ca‟ Foscari Venezia, Italy, November 2013. Various articles,
magazines, Journal papers, university and institution webpages cited and referred UI
GreenMetric evaluation and result. In 2014, III Asian Universities Forum organized by Al-
Farabi Kazakh National University, in Astana & Almaty, endorsed UI GreenMetric to be used as
a tool to evaluate university sustainability achievement.

10. What are the future plans?

A new version of GreenMetric should be developed to take into consideration how better to
achieve its own goals, how to learn from constructive criticism about rankings and the
advancement of ESD, and how to learn from the diverse experience of participants with their
different goals and in different settings. Among the ideas under consideration for possible
future innovations in the ranking are:

 Better university profiling: universities create a profile based on their unique mission,
objectives, typological features and context.
 Category focused results: scores are provided not just as a single aggregate but
separately for the main ranking categories and indicators.

Appendix 2

Calculation of Carbon Footprint

The Carbon footprint calculation can be conducted based on the stage of calculation as state
http://carbonfootprint.org, which is the sum of electricity usage per year and transportation per
year.

 Carbon Footprint Per Year

Total emissions divided by open space area per total people

Notes :
Total emissions come from:
o Electricity usage per year
 Transportation per year: Bus, Car, Motorcycle
Example of calculation :

o Open space area = total campus area – total ground floor area of building
o Total people = number of students including part- and full- time students + number of
academic and administrative staff
 Electricity Usage Per Year

CO2 emission from electricity

= (electricity usage per year in KwH / 1000) x 0.84
= (1633286 KwH/1000) x 0.84
= 1371.96 metric ton
Notes:
Electricity usage per year in UI = 1633286 KwH
0.84 is the coefficient to convert KwH to Metric ton (source: carbonfootprint.com)
 Transportation Per Year (Bus)

Page 30 of 34
 = (Number of shuttle bus in your University * total trips for shuttle bus service each
day * approximate travel distance of a vehicle each day inside campus only (in
kilometers) * 240/100) * 0.01
= ((15 x 150 x 5 x 240)/100)) x 0.01
= 270 metric ton

Notes :
240 is number of working days per year
0.01 is the coefficient (source: carbonfootprint.com) to calculate the emission in metric ton
per 100 km for bus
 Transportation Per Year (Car)

= (Number of cars entering your University * 2 * approximate travel distance

of a vehicle each day inside campus only (in kilometers) * 240/100) * 0.02
= ((2000 x 2 x 5 x 240)/100)) x 0.02
= 960 metric ton

Notes :
240 is number of working days per year
0.02 is the coefficient (source : carbonfootprint.com) to calculate the emission in metric ton
per 100 km car
 Transportation Per Year (Motorcycle)

= (Number of motorcycle entering your University * 2 * approximate travel

distance of a vehicle each day inside campus only (in kilometers) * 240/100)* 0.01
= ((4000 x 2 x 5 x 240)/100)) x 0.01
= 960 metric ton

Notes :
240 is number of working days per year
0.01 is the coefficient (source: carbonfootprint.com) to calculate the emission in metric ton
per 100 km for motorcycle
 Total Emission Per Year

= total emission from electricity usage + transportation (bus, car, motorcycle)

= 1371.96 + (270 + 960 + 960)
= 3561.96 Metric ton
 Open Space Area Per Total People

Open space area

= total campus area – total ground floor area of building
= 350000 – 75000
= 275000

Total people

Page 31 of 34
 = number of students including part- and full- time students + number of academic and
administrative staff
= 45000 + 5000
= 50000
Open space area per total people = 275000/50000 = 5.5

 Carbon Footprint Per Year

= Total emissions divided by open space area per total people

= 3561.96 / 5.5
= 648 metric ton
