Therefore, CATÓLICA-LISBON announces in a clear and objective way its contribution to the Global Agenda for Sustainable Development.
This report was developed by the Center for Responsible Business & Leadership team, in close coordination with the Dean's Office of the School and the Rectory of Universidade Católica Portuguesa. A deep research was conducted to map all of CATÓLICA-LISBON's initiatives, academic offers, events and activities for and with Students, Alumni, Staff and Faculty, as well as projects with the larger society and research initiatives.
