Franklin University Switzerland is committed to establishing sustainability initiatives to address the urgent challenges facing our planet and the people on it. We have developed a wide range of sustainability-related projects, programs, courses and more.
Aimed at consolidating, developing, and implementing sustainability initiatives at all levels of the Franklin community, the Franklin University Switzerland Green Office (FUS GO) was launched in 2022. As a student-fueled center for sustainability programs, the FUS GO operates within five different branches: campus operations, event coordination, education and research, external affairs and projects, and marketing and communications. The FUS GO is a member of the Green Office Movement, and it is the only member of the GO Movement officially recognized at a Swiss and an American university.
