Abstract Since universities are the leaders and templates in a society, there is no doubt that planning and beginning training of university educated society pave the way for sustainable development. In addition to the documents covering both national and international laws on the need to preserve the environment and the need for sustainable development and existing guidelines for green management units, the issue of green management is a new topic in our country. In this regard, recently, a guideline was adjusted by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran and was announced simultaneously to universities, science and technology parks. Execution of the guidelines, due to the structural similarities and organizational integration activities of universities, has several advantages superior to the such as general guidelines issued by the EPA (which includes industrial and service units as well). This can have more efficiency and gives us a better evaluation of the universities. Therefore, it is possible for leading universities and institutions (Such as Ferdowsi University of Mashhad with more than a decade of experience in this area) to transfer their knowledge and experience to other organizations in this area and, at the same time recognize their own weaknesses and strengths. Moreover, the institutions can benefit from the interaction and communication opportunities provided for enhancing the quality of higher education and universities all over the country as a successful and leading template in society.
