The University’s Presidency issued Resolution 1237 of 2019, updating the introductory document of the Specific Manual of Labor Functions and Competencies for the positions of administrative personnel in functional groups of Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
To support the definition and implementation of environmental responsibilities at UNAL, there is a didactic representation to project the environmental performance towards the eco-sustainable campuses, called Toolbox of environmental roles and responsibilities, which is included in the Protocol of roles and responsibilities, identified as U.PC.SGA.001 in the documents of the EMS, according to document control on the SoftExpert® platform.
