UNIMAS is reinforcing its commitment to sustainability by embedding ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles into its core mission. At a forum called “The Future of ESG”, they brought together regional experts to discuss how ESG is becoming central to modern organizations, touching on environmental responsibility, social equity, and governance transparency. A keynote speech titled “ESG for a Better Future”—delivered by a UNIMAS leader—highlighted that ESG isn’t optional but a strategic imperative, urging institutions to integrate ESG into their overarching vision for long-term, positive impact.

UNIMAS hosted the Sarawak Sustainability Insights Conference on 29 October 2024, where Sarawak’s Sustainability Blueprint — a plan for a low-carbon economy, green infrastructure, and social equity — was unveiled. The university aligned its Low Carbon Campus efforts with the blueprint, advancing renewable energy use (like solar), waste-reduction programs (recycling, composting), and circular economy practices through a “circular lab.” UNIMAS is also preserving biodiversity via eco-friendly landscaping, building energy-efficient infrastructure, and embedding sustainability into its campus culture by involving students and staff in eco-initiatives. To measure progress and remain transparent, they use an in-house GHG (greenhouse gas) dashboard for ESG reporting. Looking forward, UNIMAS is committed to deepening these sustainability efforts, positioning the campus as a model of environmental stewardship and contributing actively to Sarawak’s green vision.
