Action dimensions
The University of Valencia has been proposed to optimize their resources to contribute, in the framework of the annual operating plans, to European strategies for sustainable development and Spanish for sustainable economy. These strategies pose five dimensions of action: cultural, environmental, economic, institutional and social, that cover practice in all activities related to organization sustainability.
