UPB finds in the 2030 Agenda one of its main references in the world for the management of its environmental, social and economic impacts. Since 2017, in the Sustainability Reports, the communion between the University's performance and the Sustainable Development Goals has been explicitly made visible, in order to make the contribution to these goals more effective. In 2019, UPB carried out a prioritization exercise that made it possible to precisely identify which of the 17 SDGs have direct impacts in line with its status as a higher education institution. In this process, SDGs 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 13, 16 and 17 were prioritized, to which a special approach is made in order to determine the progress and commitment of the Institution in the consolidation of a true Sustainable Development.

Additionally, UPB finds meaning in the management of the social dimension from its humanistic and Christian vision, which is why it has mechanisms that facilitate the access of students to higher education through the Solidarity Foundation, which offers 16 scholarship options for higher education and 4 economic stimulus competitions, for more information: https://www.upb.edu.co/es/fundacion-solidaria
