UN sustainable development goal: Responsible consumption and production
Sustainable consumption research and instruction at the University of Vaasa encourage more eco-friendly consumption practises. These include waste reduction, recycling promotion, and the selection of sustainable products. Additionally, research and education on responsible consumption contribute to a greater understanding of consumer responsibility and agency. The University of Vaasa places special emphasis on the fact that responsible consumption is a component of a larger sustainable lifestyle that also includes energy efficiency, healthy dietary habits, and environmentally friendly transportation.
