The UI GreenMetric World University Ranking is an initiative of Universitas Indonesia which is being launched in 2010. Participating universities are ranked based on numeric data on various criteria which they provided that can give a picture of their commitment to the greening of their campus and putting in place environmentally friendly policies that support sustainability.

The criteria include baseline information such as the size of the university, both spatially and in terms of population, the campus location and the amount of green space; and also information on energy use, transport, water use and recycling and waste treatment. In addition, the criteria also include efforts being made by the institution towards establishing green policies and management.
