UI Green Metric World University Rankings are held annually since 2010 on the initiative of the University of Indonesia. The ranking measures the sustainability indicators of universities, their commitment to the development of “environmentally friendly” infrastructure. Universities are evaluated on such indicators as: location and infrastructure, energy conservation and climate change, waste management, water resources, transportation policy, education and research. Based on all these indicators, universities are assigned points, which determine their place in the global ranking of the world's greenest universities.

This year, Omsk SAU earned 5940 points for all indicators, which is almost 900 points more than in 2022. The best results were achieved by the university in such criteria as: education (1,525 points); waste management (1,200); transportation policy (1,150); location and infrastructure (990 points).
