North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU) upholds its commitment to environmental stewardship through the implementation of its Sustainability Policy, which directly supports SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

As outlined in Sustainable Campus Operations (p. 4) – Objective B (p. 5), the policy emphasizes strengthening sustainable waste management across all campuses. This includes reduce-reuse-recycle programs, strict waste segregation practices, and minimizing the use of single-use plastics. These measures are designed to cut down the volume of waste sent to landfills and, more importantly, prevent pollution of both air and water systems.
