Benchmarking Sustainability Integration in Higher Education Curricula
Benchmarking Sustainability Integration in Higher Education Curricula
The EDuC Label is more than just a higher education accreditation system; it is an empowerment tool for institutions and students alike. By providing a structured framework and clear guidelines for sustainability integration across disciplines, the EDuC Label empowers educators to enhance the quality and effectiveness of sustainability education within their programs. Faculty and staff are encouraged to innovate, collaborate, and implement best practices in sustainability education, fostering a culture of ongoing improvement and excellence.
To drive this transformation, we have established three core standards: the EDuC Label Criteria Framework, which defines the benchmark for sustainability in academic programs; the EDuC Metrics ESD Maturity Assessment Tool, designed to support universities in diagnosing ESD integration across their programs; and Our Pledge, a formal declaration of our commitment to advancing sustainability in higher education, which we encourage you to explore and sign.

Four Years of R&D – 120 Criteria
Four Years of R&D – 120 Criteria
The EDuC Label framework is a set of 120 criteria developed under the guidance of AFNOR, the French national organization for standardization and French representative member of ISO, and a team of pedagogy experts and other higher education stakeholders. During the development stage, these experts identified three distinct stages of higher education programs that required attention and improvement in order to foster sustainability thinking in students that would lead to more sustainable practices in their subsequent personal and professional lives. The three phases are as follows : 1) program development, 2) program management and 3) ongoing program improvement. View and download the EDuC Label Framework Structure Overview here.
