Sustainable campuses have a substantial role to play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Worldwide, there are many rating schemes to assess universities’ sustainability; UI GreenMetric is one of the most common global rating schemes aimed at encouraging green campuses and university sustainability worldwide. However, none of the existing rating schemes quantitatively measure the contributions of the implementation of its assessment indicators to achieve SDGs. There is a shortage of information on how sustainable campuses contribute to achieving SDGs. Thus, this research aimed to develop a novel index to assess and manage the contributions of sustainable campuses certified by UI GreenMetric to achieve SDGs. This article proposes novel indices, the GreenMetric Indicator Contribution Index (GMICI) and the GreenMetric Sustainable Campus Index (GMSCI), to evaluate the contributions of implementing UI GreenMetric indicators for achieving the SDGs. By implementing questionnaire surveys, we collected the relevant data. Structured questionnaire surveys yielded 35 responses from experts. The contributions of UI GreenMetric indicators to achieving SDGs were evaluated using the Relative Importance Index (RII). The results indicated an important relationship between the GreenMetric indicator and SDGs 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9,11, 12, 13 and 15. This research concludes that the proposed GMICI and GMSCI are a rigorous means for evaluating the contribution of UI GreenMetric indicators to UN-SDGs’ achievement.
