Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is committed to implementing Green Procurement practices as part of its mission toward a sustainable campus. Through this approach, USM prioritizes products and services with minimal environmental impact throughout their life cycle — from production to disposal.
Green Procurement not only reduces carbon footprints and conserves natural resources but also encourages local suppliers to adopt more responsible and eco-friendly practices. This initiative supports Malaysia’s Green Government Procurement Policy (GPMP) and the National Green Economy Action Plan, reflecting USM’s strong commitment to fostering sustainability in all operational aspects.
As one of the leading responsibility centers, the River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC) actively supports and implements this policy by prioritizing eco-friendly purchases in research activities, laboratory operations, and sustainability programs. This commitment demonstrates REDAC’s dedication to reinforcing green practices and ensuring that every procurement at the responsibility center level is conducted responsibly and sustainably.
