University Steering Committee on Environment (USCE) is the environmental policy maker in CUHK.
The members of USCE include staff from administrative offices and academic departments, college representatives, student representatives for Student Society and green student organizations such as Green World, Green Post, etc, to ensure the wide communication among different groups in the University. 

Besides, the University Safety and Environment Office (USEO) co-ordinates the relevant offices such as the Estates Management Office, the Campus Development Office and the Transport Unit to assist USCE in implementing various environmental projects and plans.

The Environmental Officer and other professionals such as Safety officers, Transport Officer and Canteen Service Officer oversee the daily operation of campus transport, canteens and restaurants, construction sites, laboratories, etc, to ensure compliance to the relevant environmental legislations and these activities are conducted in environmental responsible ways.

To widen the eyes on the environmental issues, a Safety and Environmental Co-ordinator Scheme has been established to assign appropriate staff in departments to promote and communicate the environmental issues such as waste reduction and energy management within the workplaces.

Moreover, environmental committees are formed in each College to promote environmental awareness among students and staff and to maintain a high standard of environmental hygiene on campus.
