Interviews to see the implementation of Sustainability are an effective method to assess the implementation of a company's sustainability by gathering information directly from various stakeholders. To get a comprehensive picture, interviews should cover the three main pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic (ESG - Environmental, Social, and Governance). Interviews were conducted to see whether the implementation of sustainability can be implemented in higher education. The interviews were conducted in two stages, the first stage was an interview with the University Leadership which was attended by Mr. Rector of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Prof. Dr. dr. Yuda Turana, Sp.S(K), Vice Rector for Academic, Student Affairs and Human Resources Dr. Yohanes Eko Adi Prasetyanto S.Si, Vice Rector for Innovation, Research, Cooperation and Alumni Mrs. Yanti, Ph.D., and the Secretary of the University apt. Sherly Tandi Arrang, M.Farm-Klin. and his staff.

The second stage of interviews was aimed at leaders in the Faculty to see whether there had been any efforts made by the leadership in implementing the principles of sustainability so that they could be implemented in higher education down to the lowest level. In this case, Dr. Irenius Dwinanto Bimo, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, was accompanied by Christianus Yudi Prasetyo, S.E., M.Ak., Vice Dean for Student Affairs, and the Head of Study Programs, Ms. Thia Margaretha, M.Si. (Head of the Accounting Study Program); and Dr. Aloysius Deno Hervino, S.E., M.Sc., Head of the Development Economics Study Program. The interviewees representing ECoGREEN were Prof. Dr. Natalia Yeti Puspita, S.H., M.Hum., Dr. Almatius Setya Marsudi, Ak., CA., and Dr. Christina Jualiana, M.Si. The interview topics covered issues related to the implementation of sustainability in:

• Curriculum: How is sustainability integrated into the course curriculum, both in the Accounting Study Program (Mrs. Thia) and Development Economics (Mr. Deno)?

• Research: How do study program policies encourage faculty and students to conduct research related to sustainability issues?

• Community service: What examples of community service activities have been conducted by the study program to apply sustainable economic knowledge in the community?

• Challenges in the study program: What specific obstacles have you encountered at the study program level in implementing sustainability, and how have you overcome them?

Interview results will be compiled and then compiled into research findings by combining research findings from five ECoGREEN member universities: Atma Jaya Indonesian Catholic University, Parahyangan Catholic University, Trisakti University, Wahid Hasyim University, Soegijapranata Catholic University, and the University of Surabaya, as well as two European universities: Hasselt University and Wageningen University & Research.
