In 2010, Universitas Indonesia (UI) developed the UI Green Metric World University Ranking for universities to share information about their sustainability practices. This ranking system was well aligned with the basis of sustainability for Higher Education. The scoring system can also be used as a guideline for Universities to achieve sustainability in their campuses. Since its first launch, more universities around the world have increasingly participated in the ranking system including many universities in Indonesia. This study investigated perception of students in State University of Makassar (UNM) regarding students’ perceptions on sustainability practices and perceived quality of environmental management concept at their campuses. In general, the results showed that student were not yet satisfied regarding the sustainability and implementation of the green campus concept at UNM in all assessed categories. The results suggested that Universities should adopt the criteria set in the UI Green Metric World University ranking to achieve better sustainability in their campuses and improve quality of environmental management concept in campus activities. This study also highlights the need for improved environmental policies and awareness strategies in higher education institutions. © 2025, World Researchers Associations. All rights reserved.
