It is an expression of the voluntary commitment of universities to promote the idea of sustainable development and social responsibility in educational programs, research, and management and organizational solutions. The purpose of the declaration is to build public awareness of the role of universities in shaping the conditions for sustainable, balanced socio-economic development of the country.

Content of the Declaration

The special role of universities, as a place for creating and transmitting knowledge about the reality around us, obliges them to take into account and apply the principles of social responsibility in all areas of activity and to disseminate these principles among stakeholders.

Bearing in mind the good of higher education in Poland, aware of our role in implementing the principles of sustainable development, ensuring high quality research and education, and caring for the comprehensive development of the academic community, we pledge:

Nurture the academic values enshrined, among others, in the "Code of Ethics for Academic Employees," in particular: conscientiousness, objectivity, independence, openness and transparency

Shape the social and civic attitudes of future elites that foster community building, creativity, openness, and communication, as well as social sensitivity and work culture

Promote the idea of equality, diversity, tolerance, and respect and protect human rights for the entire academic community and its environment

Expand curricula to include issues of ethics and corporate social responsibility, sustainability and social innovation

Carry out projects that implement the principles of social responsibility, in particular, regarding diversity management in the workplace, employee volunteering, promotion of ethics, cross-sector cooperation, socially engaged marketing

Undertake scientific research and implementation work that, in partnership with other academic centers from around the world, the business sector, public administration and non-governmental organizations, can contribute to solving important social problems

Develop inter-university, national and international cooperation, enabling the adaptation and strengthening of best practices in university social responsibility
