One of the core principles of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) is sustainability. The UNY Code of Conduct, which aims to improve human health and safeguard the environment, must be adhered to by the food suppliers. As a fundamental component of our concept, our suppliers must likewise understand and share our dedication to sustainability and the environment. It is our responsibility to consistently motivate our suppliers to integrate sustainable development principles into their supply chains and internal business processes. Our catering staff at UNY is in charge of creating the Sustainable Food Policy and making sure it is implemented effectively, both of which are essential to the university's efforts to stay in its current standing. Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) has established an ethical sourcing policy to ensure that all food and supplies procured by the university come from responsible and sustainable sources. The policy is embedded in the university’s procurement guidelines and applies to campus canteens, catering services, and general supplies, emphasizing environmental sustainability by prioritizing eco-friendly and certified products, fair labor practices that prevent exploitative or unsafe working conditions, local community empowerment through preference for local producers and small enterprises, and the promotion of health and well-being by encouraging nutritious and safe food choices. Implementation is monitored through procurement contracts and supplier agreements that include sustainability clauses, while in practice UNY collaborates with local food suppliers, promotes waste reduction through reusable and eco-friendly packaging, and integrates sustainability criteria in vendor selection. UNY also works closely with companies to procure goods/services with the principles of efficiency and economy in accordance with healthy business practices, as stated in the Rector Decree Letter Number 34 of 2023 in article 4 point b, article 5 point c and article 6

There are rules at UNY about reducing the use of throwaway items. Disposable goods are still utilized extensively nowadays. Disposable objects that are difficult to handle and non-biodegradable lead to a continuous rise in waste. Disposable item trash also pollutes the environment and poses a serious risk to human health.

UNY implemented measures to control the use of disposable items, particularly with relation to food and drink containers made of paper and plastic. In addition to Rector Decree No. 34 Year 2023 on Policy for effective and efficient procurement of goods/services, Rector Decree No. 20 Year 2017 and No. 16 Year 2021 on Green Campus prohibit the use of plastic containers for food and beverages.
