Adelin Mendoza, LPT, during the Global Sustainable Development Congress 2026, held from June 22 to 25, 2026, at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE BSD City) in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The achievement highlights the shared work of HTC’s leadership, faculty, staff, and students in advancing the institution’s sustainability goals. Their collective efforts have helped translate the College’s academic mission into initiatives that support community welfare, responsible stewardship, and long-term development.

More than an international distinction, the ranking affirms HTC’s role in addressing social and environmental concerns through education, institutional programs, and partnerships. It also provides the College with a stronger foundation for expanding its sustainability efforts in the years ahead.

Holy Trinity College extends its gratitude to everyone who contributed to this milestone. May this achievement encourage greater innovation, stewardship, and progress across the institution.
