As a Legal Entity State University (PTN-BH<\/em>), Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) actively aligns its financial governance and investment strategies with Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and global decarbonization targets. UNNES enforces a formal institutional policy to transition away from and divest investments in carbon-intensive energy industries\u2014particularly coal and petroleum\u2014grounded in Rector\u2019s Decree Number B\/3669\/UN37\/HK.02\/2024<\/a><\/strong> concerning UNNES\u2019s Commitment to Achieving Carbon Neutrality by 2045 (issued by the Rector of UNNES) and Rector\u2019s Regulation No. 22 of 2009 <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prohibition of New Investments and Treatment of Existing Portfolios<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the core provisions in Rector\u2019s Decree No. B\/3669\/UN37\/HK.02\/2024 <\/a>(Point i<\/strong>) stipulates that UNNES actively establishes strategic collaborations and attracts clean energy investments specifically to replace coal and oil energy<\/strong>. Under this mandate, UNNES enforces strict investment rules covering both new and existing institutional funds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ban on New Carbon-Intensive Investments:<\/strong> UNNES prohibits allocating new university investments, commercial capital, or endowment funds to companies whose core business involves coal and petroleum exploration, production, processing, or fossil-fuel power development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Treatment of Existing Investment Portfolios and Endowment Funds:<\/strong> Regarding existing financial portfolios and endowment placements, UNNES maintains a conservative financial structure parked in state-regulated banking instruments with zero direct equity holdings in coal or petroleum extraction companies<\/strong>. Any existing operational or financial ties to carbon-intensive energy are subject to systematic phased withdrawal and redirection toward green infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Prioritizing Solar Energy Investments and Annual Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This investment policy is actively realized through careful institutional planning, most notably UNNES\u2019s strategic partnership with Indonesia Power<\/strong> to develop and expand solar photovoltaic (PV) energy installations across the UNNES campus. Furthermore, Rector\u2019s Regulation No. 22 of 2009<\/a> (Article 7)<\/strong> serves as UNNES\u2019s operational guideline for switching to renewable energy\u2014particularly solar cell technology\u2014complementing campus-wide initiatives to eliminate the use of coal and oil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Moving forward, UNNES prioritizes redirecting capital and partnerships toward renewable energy, energy efficiency, low-carbon technologies, and environmentally conscious business activities. The implementation of this sustainable investment and divestment policy is monitored annually<\/strong> by the Vice Rector for Planning, General Affairs, Human Resources, and Finance to ensure full alignment with the university\u2019s 2045 carbon neutrality roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
