School of Tourism and Maritime Technology Recognised with the Biosphere CERTIFIED Seal
The School of Tourism and Maritime Technology (ESTM) of the Polytechnic University of Leiria has been awarded the Biosphere CERTIFIED seal, an international certification that recognises the commitment of institutions aligning their activities with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda set by the United Nations.
This milestone marks the result of a journey that began on Earth Day, April 22, 2024, when ESTM signed a cooperation agreement with Biosphere Portugal, initiating the process for Biosphere Sustainable Lifestyle certification. Granted by Biosphere Portugal, this certification allows ESTM to join a network of institutions committed to reducing environmental impact, promoting social development, and valuing local culture.
The Biosphere CERTIFIED distinction positions ESTM as a leading institution in the field of sustainability, enhancing its visibility on national and international platforms and reinforcing its institutional commitment to implementing actions that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, while also ensuring comprehensive training for its students.
