Five universities in the Philippines have made it into the “QS World University Rankings: Sustainability 2024” by British-born global higher education insights company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), which was unveiled earlier this month.

Featuring about 1,400 universities from across the globe, the list recognises the top institutions that are at the forefront of social and environmental sustainability in the world. The rankings are measured through three components: social impact, environmental impact, and governance.
