TRANSFORMING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW

USM demonstrates its dedication to sustainability through its vision and mission statements, core values, and strategic plan. Leveraging on these guiding principles, USM's sustainability framework serves as the cornerstone of its commitment and approach to sustainability.

USM's commitment to sustainability is evident through the creation of the University Sustainability Council (USC) or known as Majlis Kelestarian Universiti (MKU) in 2013. USC plays a crucial role in achieving USM's goal of becoming a world-class sustainability university by overseeing all aspects related to sustainability. It serves as the primary authority for USM's leadership to establish targets, make decisions, and ensure the implementation of sustainability matters, covering academics, students, staff, research, industry connections, finance, infrastructure, security, and more (Sustainability Policy 2022). USC is responsible for monitoring and coordinating sustainability initiatives, encompassing teaching, research, community engagement, and institutional arrangements.
