Between September 2025 and July 2026, HIJAU@GSB successfully initiated and implemented a series of programmes and campaigns in support of the Sustainability@GSB agenda. These initiatives promoted environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sustainable workplace practices through the active participation of academic and administrative staff, top management, students, alumni, and industry collaborators. The strong collective commitment and cross-functional collaboration have fostered a culture of sustainability across the Graduate School of Business while strengthening stakeholder engagement and reinforcing GSB’s commitment to creating meaningful and lasting impacts for the university, society, and the environment.
The Sustainability Campaign at GSB USM encourages the GSB community to embrace sustainable living through four key initiatives: ReMove, ReVibe Together, ReLove Corner, and ReCreate Studio. By promoting wellness, resource conservation, reuse, and creativity, the campaign fosters an engaging and collaborative culture of sustainability among staff, students, alumni, and partners.
The PreLoved Items Corner promotes the principles of reuse and the circular economy by encouraging the donation and exchange of gently used items, including books, clothing, stationery, accessories, toys, and small e-waste. This initiative helps reduce waste, extends the lifespan of usable items, and cultivates a culture of sharing, responsible consumption, and environmental stewardship within the GSB community.
In line with the Move Smart, Move Green campaign, all GSB staff came together in supporting our Green Office efforts through Zero Waste practices, Green Pantry, Adopt-a-Space, Biophilic Design, and active participation in GSB Green Move Week.
Every small action, from reducing single-use plastics and caring for our workspaces to conserving energy and nurturing a green culture, will make a meaningful impact on the sustainability of GSB and USM. Thank you for everyone’s commitment and support.
This initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
