Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to creating a health-promoting environment through SI 1.1: Healthy University Policy Statement in accordance with the Healthy University Framework (HUF). Under this criterion, the University is required to establish institution-wide health-related policies and ensure that they are systematically and actively implemented across its faculties, institutes, colleges, schools, campuses and other units in alignment with the overall conceptual framework of the HUF. The standard for the "more than 75% implementation" level stipulates that:

"Healthy university policies are established at the university level, with active implementation of the overall conceptual framework of the HUF in more than 75% of faculties, institutes, and campuses."

To meet this standard, on 1 October 2025, SWU announced the Well-being Promoting University Policy for Fiscal Year 2026. Aligned with the HUF, its six clauses cover all three HUF domains: System and Infrastructure (Clauses 1–2), Zero Tolerance Areas (Clause 3) and Health Promotion Areas (Clause 4), supported by monitoring and evaluation (Clause 5) and collaborative networks (Clause 6). All faculties, institutes and units on both the Prasarnmit and Ongkharak campuses are required to integrate the policy into their missions.
