1) To promote the implementation of the University of Eastern Finland's strategy and quality work, especially in sustainable development and responsibility.
2) To take care of the maintenance of the University of Eastern Finland's sustainability and responsibility program and the university's other sustainable development commitments, and to make proposals for measures and resources related to them.
3) To ensure the achievement of the goals of social commitment and the necessary reporting.
4) Promote discussion and awareness of sustainable development and responsibility, both within and outside the university, to the university's stakeholders, by communicating about the university's sustainability and responsibility activities and, for example, by organizing related events.
5) To promote co-operation between the various communities and university units operating in the university and the universities of Eastern Finland in matters of sustainability and responsibility. 6) Carry out sustainability audits.
7) To act as the steering group of the University's Carbon Neutral UEF2025 project and to organize project-related reporting and carbon footprint calculation.
8) To act as a team for the activities of the University of Fair Trade.

The Advisory Board consists of representatives from the faculties, special and service departments and the Compass Group, which is responsible for the university's restaurant services, and its deputies. In addition, the Advisory Board has representation from the University Services so that it can also perform the tasks required by the university's Green Office diploma and representation from the Student Union. The Advisory Board elects a chairman from among its members and the quality coordinator acts as secretary.
