“Sustainable living is a desire that needs an action”
Sustainability is the vital leap towards the future for the environment. The Sustainable Campus Office (SCO), aspires to pilot University Tun Hussien Onn Malaysia (UTHM) into becoming an environmentally favorable environment. Sustainability has always been the main focus in UTHM and has developed into a culture. A way of life within UTHM which interconnects the students, staff and the community towards sustainable efforts. Therefore, as a member of UTHM, SCO goal is to create and promote awareness on the value of sustainable for a better and greener earth. UTHM has incorporated resilient efforts to integrate sustainability as we believe it will produce professional graduates who value the significance of the environment. Our mission is to create and develop an exceptional sustainable campus for all.
I had been with SCO since 2019 and have seen a lot of sustainable effort done by UTHM community. Hopefully, the green effort will continue strongly to create a sustainable community knowledgeable in green practice and educate other communities as well.

“We can’t just consume our way to a more sustainable world”
Environmental sustainability is our shared responsibility. It needs to start from each individual before it is formed as a culture in society. Awareness related to sustainability needs to be instilled in every member of the community and at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, this community refers to the entire campus community.
As an office responsible for the planning and implementation of campus sustainability efforts, I believe the cooperation of the entire campus community is essential to enable this environmental sustainability agenda to be successfully implemented.
Sustainable method is the way forward as it promises green yet balanced future for upcoming generations.
The main objective of Sustainable Campus office at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia is to create a sustainable campus. We increase awareness, educate, train, inspire, encourage and support our university in developing and implementing transformative strategies to establish green, resource efficient and low carbon campus. A well-structured planning, strategies and action plans are the engine room for a green university campus and at the same time we would like to provide support for staffs and students on embarking their own sustainability journey. We believe that eventually this initiatives would not just benefit UTHM but it could be a catalyst to to local community, state even Malaysia and internationally.
As they said, small baby steps could turn into giant leaps as long as we work together as all the small changes can make a big difference.
