This paper assessed the sustainability initiatives of Letran Manila using the Unit-Based Sustainability Assessment Tool (USAT). The findings indicate that while Letran demonstrates a commitment to sustainability through legal compliance and alignment with its recent institutional vision, it lacks a comprehensive institutional framework to effectively guide its units in implementing sustainable practices. This gap is evident in the limited integration of sustainability across key areas such as teaching, research, community engagement, operations and management, student involvement, and institutional policy. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at Letran presents a complex challenge, as it requires not only structural reforms but also value and behavioral changes among members of the institution. Success will largely depend on the strong and sustained commitment of the institution's leadership to fully implement and support sustainability initiatives across all levels of the Colegio de San Juan de Letran.
