It also happens to be a styro and plastic-free campus considering that stryofoam and PET (polyethylene terephtalate) plastic battles which do not decompose and thus the ecosystem within a community or so. Minimizing the use of greenhouse gases is also part of DLSL's advocacy for the well-being of the environment and communities.

Acknowledging exceptional sustainability initiatives being carried out by the world's universities and colleges, IGGA established the desired standards of quality and put every learning institution at the core of delivering and fulfilling the United Nations' global goals for the foreseeable future.
