The SUSTAINABILITY GROUP (SG17) was established in response to the growing need for a structured, student-led mechanism that actively supports and advances Mapúa University’s commitment to sustainability, global responsibility, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a student arm aligned with the Mapúa Institute for Global Sustainability (Mapúa-IGS), the organization is designed not merely as an advocacy group, but as an academic oriented, impact-driven body that integrates leadership development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and measurable SDG initiatives within the university ecosystem.
The Constitution and By-Laws of SUSTAINABILITY GROUP (SG17) were intentionally crafted to balance student democratic participation, effective executive leadership, and institutional accountability. Given the multi-campus structure of Mapúa University, the complexity of SDG-aligned initiatives, and the need for continuity across academic terms, the organization adopts a governance framework that empowers elected student leaders while embedding safeguards against abuse, mission drift, and organizational instability.
