===Sustainability===
Concordia's "sustainability hub" promotes sustainable development.<ref>[https://www.concordia.ca/about/sustainability.html Sustainability hub] ''Concordia.ca''</ref>
In February 2019, Concordia became the first university in Canada to issue a sustainable bond. According to the university webpage the bond will "generate environmental and social benefits as defined by the [[United Nations]]' Sustainable Development Goals".<ref>{{cite news |url= https://business.financialpost.com/investing/concordia-becomes-first-university-to-issue-sustainable-bonds-in-canada/amp |title= Concordia becomes first university to issue sustainable bonds in Canada |work= Financial Post}}</ref> According to Denis Cossette, the university's chief financial officer, "the $25-million senior unsecured bond offers investors a 3.626 per cent yield and has a duration of 20 years." Because of this bond, Concordia would be able to issue sustainable bonds instead of green bonds.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://montrealgazette.com/investing/concordia-becomes-first-university-to-issue-sustainable-bonds-in-canada/wcm/b5e029f5-0838-44e8-bf69-de33eee46c1b |title= Concordia becomes first university to issue sustainable bonds in Canada |newspaper= [[The Gazette (Montreal)]]}}</ref>

===Student organizations===
The [[Concordia Student Union]] (CSU) represents undergraduate students. Its membership totals more than 35,000 students. Concordia students voted in favour of accreditation of their student union in a referendum in December 2000. As a result, the CSU is now legally accountable only to its student constituents.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bokser |first=Howard |url=http://magazine.concordia.ca/2001-02/december/features/StudentUnion.shtml |title=Concordia University Magazine |publisher=Magazine.concordia.ca |access-date=November 20, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100923133422/http://magazine.concordia.ca/2001-02/december/features/StudentUnion.shtml |archive-date=September 23, 2010 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
