Centre for Research and Community Service Development (P4M), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), held a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Workshop entitled “Strategies for Integrating SDGs in Strengthening the Academic Performance and Reputation of FEB UNS” on Wednesday, 19 February 2026, conducted online via Zoom Meeting. The workshop featured Luluk Lusiantoro, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), as the resource speaker.

The workshop aims to strengthen understanding and implementation of the SDGs, integrate SDGs into the curriculum and teaching and learning process, promote SDGs-based research and community service roadmaps, and support the enhancement of institutional performance and the sustainability reputation of FEB UNS.

The event was opened with remarks by Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs, who emphasised the urgency of integrating SDGs into academic and research activities.

“The purpose of today’s activity is to introduce the concept of the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs. Although this may not be an entirely new concept for many of us, some colleagues are still unfamiliar with the Sustainable Development paradigm. The aim is to explore how UNS can develop learning materials and advance research and community service in accordance with societal needs — whether at the household, industry, business, or government level. Starting this year, UNS is intensifying its efforts to stay relevant by linking teaching and research to the principles of sustainable development and the SDGs,” she elaborated.

In the presentation session, Dr. Luluk Lusiantoro discussed the challenges of the triple planetary crisis and the importance of transforming business education to align with the principles of sustainability. He presented material related to good practices in SDGs integration at FEB UGM through the Sustainable Business School Framework (SBSF), which encompasses curriculum strengthening, the development of sustainability-based research roadmaps, and the preparation of sustainability reports in accordance with global standards.

Dr. Luluk further elaborated on concrete practices of SDGs integration at FEB UGM, including the development of courses such as Business Ethics and Sustainability, Circular Economy, and Sustainability Accounting; the opening of a Sustainability Management concentration within the MBA program; the preparation of a faculty Sustainability Report as an instrument for monitoring and evaluating sustainability performance; and the strengthening of international partnerships, including dual degree programs and global collaborations in the field of sustainability.

He pointed-out that the integration of SDGs must go beyond mere inclusion in curriculum documents, and should be reflected in the learning process, the direction of faculty research, community service initiatives, and institutional governance. Through such an approach, business schools can serve as drivers of economic transformation towards a more inclusive and sustainable model.

This activity supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of quality education, sustainable economic growth, responsible consumption and production, and partnerships for the goals, as part of FEB UNS’s commitment to advancing global sustainable development.
