UniTo’s strategy is built around the PEOPLE in the academic community. Students, teaching and technical-administrative staff must be aware that they are part of a cohesive community. They are all entitled to the best conditions to study and to grow culturally and professionally. They are all involved in the promotion of the transparency, responsibility and cultural, social and civil development of which the University is the driving force.

UniTo has decided to go beyond the traditional concept of environmental sustainability in favour of a holistic approach that places the individual at the centre of the environment and the community. The University intends to encourage the spread of a culture that respects the human-environment balance, protecting people’s well-being and simultaneously promoting sustainable development of the community and the surrounding area. First and foremost, it is essential to protect and support the various members of the UniTo community, improving the organisation of the environment they work and study in and adopting appropriate corrective and support policies. With a view to achieving this, services will be activated that support family needs and help to balance work life with family demands. With reference to sustainability as the well-being of the individual, UniTo also intends to promote wellbeing through support for university sports for students and the Wellness@Work project, which raises physical health awareness among staff. Another strategic aspect of the concept of sustainability is the construction of centres for primary prevention and first aid, staffed by nurses and doctors. The issue of economic and financial sustainability as a means of offering quality education is another strategy whereby UniTo intends to consolidate the quality and sustainability of teaching through co-planning aimed at reducing the number of hours of teaching assigned through teaching contracts outside the University. UniTo has long been committed to the consolidation and enhancement of environmental sustainability policies, and intends to reinforce this focus by including policies of mitigation and adaptation to climate change, to be implemented by the Green Office UniToGO and other University structures.
