Name of the campaign:
Ruta Azul's nationwide awareness campaign

A brief description of the campaign:

Spanning 22 campuses of Tecnológico de Monterrey over a four-month period from June 2023, left a lasting impact on approximately 90,085 students, 16,968 educators and 12,763 collaborators daily. The initiative targeted key environmental concerns, including water and energy conservation, recycling practices, and carbon footprint reduction. Through a series of diverse messages projected on the more than 100 campus screens, the campaign engaged students, educators and collaborators across the country, fostering awareness and encouraging responsible behaviors in areas crucial to sustainable living. This comprehensive effort exemplifies Ruta Azul's commitment to instilling a culture of environmental consciousness within the academic community on a national scale.



A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
We implemented a comprehensive communication campaign through our institutional channels (email, mitec platform, social media, websites, news site, among others) aimed at sparking curiosity in the Tec community (students, faculty, staff, management, Board of Directors, and EXATEC) about the local, national, and global context of the climate crisis. Additionally, the campaign also aimed to present Ruta Azul as the Sustainability and Climate Change Plan 2025, showcase the efforts made in the different areas, reaffirm the commitments achieved, and engage our community by inviting them to join with sustainable actions.

 

Achievements: +100 materials developed, 3,445 video views, 10,766 website visits, 8,744 visits to the sustainability blog, 1,346 newsletter subscribers, and 1,388 report downloads.
