本論文は、高等教育機関(HEI)のサステナビリティを評価するためのSDG-ESG持続可能開発指数(SESI)フレームワークを提案する。17のSDG由来の指標を環境・社会・ガバナンス(ESG)次元で評価し、正規化・加重統合することで絶対的スコアリングを実現。パイロット評価の結果、総合SESIスコアは23.69%で、ガバナンス能力が最大の障壁と特定された。長期比較可能なベンチマークとして戦略計画に活用できる。
English
This paper proposes the SDG-ESG Sustainable Development Index (SESI), an integrated framework for assessing sustainability performance in higher education institutions (HEIs) using ESG dimensions aligned with SDGs. Based on 17 SDG-derived indicators normalized to reference thresholds and aggregated via hybrid weighting, a pilot assessment at a university campus yielded an overall SESI score of 23.69%, indicating foundational maturity. Imbalances across ESG domains were found, with governance capacity identified as a major barrier.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の高等教育機関でもSDGs・ESG開示が進む中、本フレームワークはキャンパスレベルのサステナビリティ評価の標準化に寄与する可能性がある。SSBJ基準との整合性は今後の課題だが、長期比較可能な指標設計は参考になる。
In the global GX context
With increasing pressure on HEIs to demonstrate sustainability performance, this framework offers a standardized, comparable approach aligned with SDGs and ESG principles. It addresses the gap in longitudinal assessment and provides a baseline for decision-making, relevant to global sustainability reporting trends.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers can use the SESI framework as a structured tool for comparative and longitudinal sustainability studies in HEIs.
🏢実務担当者:University sustainability officers can adopt SESI to benchmark campus performance and identify improvement areas, especially governance.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers in education and sustainability can consider SESI as a model for mandatory sustainability reporting standards for HEIs.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Higher educational institutions (HEIs) are key players in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); however, current methods of assessing sustainability usually focus on ranking or comparing HEIs to each other but cannot be used longitudinally or to assist with decision-making at the institutional level. This paper presents a solution in the form of the SDG–ESG Sustainable Development Index (SESI): An integrated framework to assess sustainability performance in HEIs (i.e., campus-level sustainability) through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions relative to SDGs. The SESI framework is made up of ESG domain-specific 17 SDG-derived indicators, where each indicator’s value is based on data from institutional documents, sensor systems, audits, or policy documents. The values of each indicator are normalized to a constant reference threshold, aggregated using a hybrid weighting approach, in order to facilitate temporal comparison. Pilot assessments were conducted at a university campus and resulted in the Environmental, Social, and Governance scores of the campus being 0.26, 0.23, and 0.21 respectively; producing an overall SESI score of 23.69% and indicating a foundational level of sustainability maturity. Results indicated that there are imbalances across the ESG domains and identified governance capacity as a major barrier to sustainability progress. Overall, SESI has been shown to provide a framework for assessing campus sustainability and serves as a structured baseline for performance monitoring, strategic planning, and will eventually be integrated into data-driven sustainability decision support systems.
