In commitment to the CICM promotion of the integrity of creation and under its core value of social involvement, SLU has taken concrete steps in taking care of the environment and in mitigating the serious effects of global warming. SLU has strongly implemented environment-friendly practices inside the campus through its innovative “clean and green” projects that include garbage segregation, the plastic-free Wednesday, etc., in support to the DENR environmental campaigns. Also, SLU is known in the Benguet province for its comprehensive re-forestation agenda. To date, SLU has planted more than 7,000 trees through its tree planting activities in its adopted communities.

Recently, SLU-LES won the Platinum Award in the 2011 International Schools Cyberfair in environmental awareness category. SLU student organizations with environmental programs include:
