On 24 October 2025, Saint Louis University (SLU) received a certificate from the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, recognizing the university’s genuine and active commitment to the ecological conversion inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’.
Sponsored by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, the Laudato Si’ Action Platform provides concrete resources to protect our common home.
The recognition is another way of saying, “We’re walking this path together.” It demonstrates leadership to peers, stakeholders, and the wider Church and builds credibility when applying for partnerships, funding, or recognition. The certificate serves as an encouragement to others to start or deepen their ecological journey, and mark a milestone for internal reflection and growth.
This milestone reflects SLU’s commitment to Missio et Excellentia while advancing sustainable development.
