Telkom University Publishes Progress on SDG 16: Promoting Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

Building Ethical and Responsible Leadership

A cornerstone initiative under SDG 16 is the Student Ethics and Integrity Program, which aims to cultivate a culture of honesty, accountability, and mutual respect among students, faculty, and staff.
Through ethics workshops, digital campaigns, and integrity-driven academic policies, the program reinforces the university’s core values of professionalism, integrity, and social responsibility.

These initiatives ensure that Telkom University graduates embody the principles of ethical leadership and are well-equipped to apply these values in their future professional and civic roles.

Community Empowerment and Law Awareness

Beyond campus boundaries, the Faculty of Communication and Business has conducted multiple community service and research programs focusing on legal literacy, digital ethics, and community governance in rural areas.
Through these programs, local residents gain a deeper understanding of topics such as digital safety, online responsibility, and civic participation, enabling them to make informed decisions and reduce misinformation.

These activities promote stronger community governance systems, inclusive participation, and trust-based collaboration, aligning with the principles of peace and justice outlined in SDG 16.

Institutional Collaboration and Transparency

Telkom University also implements the Digital Collaboration for Sustainability (DCS) model to strengthen cooperation between academia, government, industry, and civil society.
This platform facilitates policy innovation, institutional transparency, and multi-sector collaboration, driving digital transformation that supports justice, accountability, and social harmony at both local and national levels.

Through DCS and related initiatives, the university fosters a holistic governance model grounded in open dialogue, shared responsibility, and digital ethics — principles that uphold strong and trustworthy institutions.

Commitment to Transparent SDG Reporting

By adhering to the principle of Publication of SDG Reports – per SDG, Telkom University ensures transparency, accountability, and measurable progress in reporting its contributions toward SDG 16.
This data-driven approach not only provides open access to institutional achievements but also reinforces public trust in the university’s governance and ethical practices.

Conclusion

Through education, research, and collaborative governance, Telkom University continues to strengthen its role as a center of excellence in ethical education, responsible innovation, and institutional transparency.
By publishing its progress against SDG 16, the university demonstrates its unwavering commitment to building a just, peaceful, and inclusive society, where innovation, integrity, and collaboration drive sustainable development.
