On April 20^th, 2016, the Vietnam Union of UNESCO Associations organized an award ceremony to present Ton Duc Thang University with an “Environmentally Friendly Campus” Certificate. The university receives the Certificate in recognition of its establishment and development of a “green” university with clean fresh air in a very crowded and busy Ho Chi Minh City.

Here at TDTU, plants account for 77.75% of the open space and all study zones are designed to overlook the greenery. The campus is surrounded by green grass, a canal to separate the academic areas and sports complex, an experimental garden and a student-made vegetable garden without chemicals. Added to this is an awareness of environmental protection from each member of the university, which has strengthened the development of an eco-friendly environment, and enables the relaxing and efficient learning and researching of students and professors.
