Divestment
Qassim University has a policy to divest from carbon-intensive energy industries, notably coal and oil: no new direct or indirect investment in thermal coal mining or coal-fired power generation, and gradual liquidation of existing holdings. Its Sustainable Investment Policy also directs funds to clean energy infrastructure and renewable-energy projects.
Sustainable Investment Policy
The University’s Sustainable Investment Policy commits it to integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions and to investing in clean energy infrastructure (clause 3.2). Its procedures require identifying investments that do not align with the policy, such as fossil-fuel companies, and phasing them out gradually (5.3), and allocating funds to sustainable alternatives such as green bonds and renewable-energy projects (5.4). The policy complements the Divestment Policy by directing funds towards clean energy.
