TASK™ is widely acknowledged by accreditation and ranking bodies. Its robust framework and data interpretation models have established TASK™ as a reliable tool for demonstrating impact in these contexts.
As users of TASK™, you can successfully answer to the criteria or questions highlighted below:
Times Higher Education Impact Rating:
- Times Higher Education creates rankings and ratings to assess higher education institutions’ performances on the SDGs and to provide a resource for readers to understand the different missions and successes of higher education institutions.
- A university’s total score within a given year is calculated by combining an obligatory evaluation of their performance in SDG17, with its three best results on any of the remaining 16 SDGs on which it opts to report.
How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
Under SDG 17, newly added Criteria 17.4.4 asks:
- Are you assessing the sustainability literacy of your students?
- If yes, are you using Sulitest TASK™, or another system?
- What proportion of your student population is assessed?
- Data collection: the second half of the calendar year.
QS Sustainability Ranking
- The QS Sustainability Rankings aim to provide students with insights on how institutions are demonstrating commitment to a more sustainable world.
How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
Under “Environmental Sustainability”, QS asks:
- Are you assessing the sustainability literacy of your students?

AASHE STARS
- AASHE’s flagship program STARS (the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System), is a comprehensive framework for colleges and universities to measure and self-report their sustainability performance.
How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
Under the Academic section, STARS includes:
- AC5 - Sustainability Assessment: maximum points available for institutions administering a pre- and post-assessment to the entire student body or, at minimum, to the institution’s predominant student body (e.g., all undergraduate students), directly or by representative sample.
- Data collection: ongoing throughout the academic year
EFMD Programme Accreditation
- EFMD’s Programme Accreditation System integrates Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability (ERS) as a transversal standard across programme design and delivery.

How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
Under ERS Criterion 2.3 (Design of delivery modes and assessment methods), EFMD asks:
Examples of assessments requiring ethical reasoning in resolving ethical dilemmasProvide evidence of how the institution assesses sustainability literacy (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) in a reliable and comparable manner (e.g., using standardized tools such as Sulitest's TASK)
- Methodology details (page 93)
Le Point (French Ranking)
- Le Point is a French higher education ranking that evaluates management programs across six key indicators: teaching quality, professional integration, selectivity, international outlook, research, and academic reputation. Its methodology is based on self-reported data from institutions, cross-checked with verified institutional sources (such as ministries, accreditation bodies, and public statistics), as well as an increasing use of open data to enhance transparency and comparability. The ranking also includes thematic league tables—particularly on social diversity and environmental issues—to highlight institutions’ societal commitments.
How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
As part of its “Environment” ranking, Le Point examines how sustainability challenges are embedded in academic programs, research activities, and institutional governance.
Corporate Knights' Better World MBA ranking
- Corporate Knights’ Better World MBA ranking assesses business schools on how well their MBA programs integrate sustainability, social impact, responsible management, and related faculty research into business education.
How they ask about sustainability knowledge assessment?
Schools are eligible to a Bonus if they implement Sustainability Knowledge Assessment (up to 10%):
