Aqaba University of Technology (AUT) believes that sustainability is a need for optimal utilization usage of natural recourses. This is to not only preserve these resources and ensures their sustainability, but also achieve well-being, health and good education for humanity. AUT also thinks that itself is one of the educational institutions that has a duty to achieve all the seventeen goals of the United Nations toward sustainability.
