Sustainable development goals for higher education institutions: What happened in the past years?

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight the importance of quality education in Goal 4 (United Nations, 2015). In 2020 a study was conducted about the projects and actions of Budapest Business School (BBS) related to SDGs – Goal 4. As a result, a SWOT matrix of BBS’s sustainability strategy was created. During the current research, I plan to review each element of the matrix and investigate BBS’s development from a sustainability point of view. Additionally, I also involved students in the research, and asked their opinion about BBS’s actions and studied their understanding of sustainability a questionnaire. The goal of this research is to follow-up the past years’ actions of BBS and create a status report of the university’s progress in sustainability projects. The updated SWOT matrix can be useful by BBS’s management, and the results of the student questionnaire can be considered for the purpose of planning future actions. Furthermore, the follow-up methodology can be useful for other universities and could also serve as a basis to investigate their own status in their sustainability projects.
