Leveraging sustainability of HEIs in Malaysia through lean and green strategies: A literature review and research agenda

The journey towards sustainable development (SD) in Malaysia was started since the 1970s. Afterwards, a Malaysian New Economic Model (NEM) was formulated to pursue SD targeting high income, inclusivity and sustainability, which is in line with the 2030 SD agenda.
