Partners for a Sustainable Future

As a thriving research university, NC State’s contributions toward a sustainable future are unique and vital. We prepare students with sustainability knowledge and real-world experience for impactful careers and lives. We fuel research breakthroughs that solve complex sustainability challenges. And we practice what we teach, integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations, academics and research. In fact, sustainability is one of NC State’s seven core values highlighted in the overall university strategic plan.

Our industry partners have a shared commitment. For example, with our newly launched Business Sustainability Roundtable, we’re teaming up with FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies in support of their global sustainability goals — and shaping biodiversity strategies at a new $2B large-scale cell culture manufacturing facility, just miles down the road from campus.

FUJIFILM Diosynth teams up with innovative academic partners like NC State to train our specialized workforce and uncover breakthrough research. Together, we’re working towards solutions for a better future.
