The University of Northern Philippines (UNP) manifests commitment to responsible consumption and production through initiatives covering waste management education, sustainable business practices, environmental campaigns, and cultural food preservation. UNP promotes environmental awareness and responsible consumption of natural resources through the university's Biological Society participation in World Earth Day celebrations, highlighting the interconnection between ecological health and sustainable consumption patterns.

UNP was recognized in global sustainability rankings for commitment to responsible practices across the institution including consumption and production systems, demonstrating institutional leadership in sustainability. The university promoted National Statistics Month recognizing that data and statistics on production and consumption are crucial for monitoring progress towards responsible consumption and production goals.

UNP integrates sustainable practices into business and hospitality education preparing students to lead responsible industries. The College of Business Administration and Accountancy organized events including environmental initiatives promoting sustainable approaches to business operations and financial management. The College of Hospitality and Tourism Management initiated environmental campaigns promoting sustainable practices and responsible consumption within the hospitality sector, while reviving local cultural traditions related to food through puto and bibingka making, promoting consumption of locally sourced and traditional products that support local economies and reduce environmental footprints. Students won first place in the regional cooking challenge "Fish on Dish for a Bizz" focusing on local fish, promoting sustainable food consumption and local food systems while reducing reliance on imported ingredients.

UNP advances waste management and recycling initiatives through community education and institutional practices.
