Sustainability @ APU
The Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) recognises that its economic, social and civic responsibilities are central to its activities and that the University’s core business and teaching operations have the potential to affect the environment, health and prosperity of its employees, its students and the communities in which it operates.
Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU)’s Ultra-Modern University Campus is strategically located in Technology Park Malaysia (TPM), Kuala Lumpur. APU’s Campus blends technology, integration, innovation and creativity under one roof. Technology Park is also representing Malaysia at Dubai Expo 2020 with the theme of “Energising Sustainability”. TPM also conducts Tecoma planting exercise was aimed at encouraging students to appreciate the values of protecting the environment by mitigating the effects of climate change. Tecoma flowering tree, also known as the Malaysian Sakura, is commonly spotted in Malaysia with its burst of pink, purple, or white flowers. When in full bloom twice a year during the hot weather periods, it certainly adds a natural beauty to the surroundings. TPM has more than 200 tecoma trees within its 686 acre campus in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
In support of this belief, the University wishes to play a central role in protecting and enhancing sustainability locally, nationally and internationally, by ensuring that this principle underpins all its operations and activities.
In addition, APU will endeavor to align with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.”

The Green / Sustainability objectives of APIIT Education Group are based on the foundations of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Sustainability.
This can be clearly seen through Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) campus building itself where it was designed based on a concept of sustainable building, with consideration of the following aspects:
