Abstract : This study examines the interplay between sustainability performance, strategic partnerships for the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and leadership competencies, and how these factors collectively affect global university rankings. Guided by Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Shareholder Value Theory (SVT), and Transformational Leadership, it uses a cross-sectional explanatory design with 351 respondents from four state universities and colleges in Region VII, Philippines. Of 35 indicators, 19 were removed after rigorous Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (EFA and CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed a good model fit. Results challenge conventional assumptions, showing no direct link between environmental sustainability and overall performance, while economic sustainability aligns strongly with CSR and SVT. Social sustainability’s effect is inconclusive, but institutional partnerships positively impact sustainability performance. Leadership competencies significantly influence global rankings but do not directly mediate sustainability outcomes. Limitations include a limited sample and lack of longitudinal data. Future research should expand institutional coverage, use mixed methods, revisit excluded constructs, and incorporate cross-cultural, longitudinal designs. The study offers empirical insights that both affirm and question existing theories, contributing to policy, governance, and strategic decision-making for sustainability and competitiveness in Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs).

Keywords : Education for Sustainable Development, Academic Leadership, Sustainability Performance, and Sequential Equation Modeling & Global University Ranking.
