Strategic Plan 2021—2025

Embracing Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development CUHK espouses the values of people, social, and environment and economic harmonies in the pursuit of sustainable development As a responsible public institution, CUHK is committed to addressing society’s greatest challenges and contributing to the well-being of the global community, through the integration of teaching, research and engagement. University social responsibility (USR) has been a driving force—albeit unacknowledged at times—of its strategies and will be at the forefront of its next five-year vision. In fact, CUHK has been fulfilling its social responsibility and ensuring sustainable development in all its activities, as it discharges its functions in the creation, dissemination and innovation of knowledge, educating the youth and nurturing them as leaders in the globalized knowledge economy, exchanging knowledge that would impact society, developing and cultivating talent for the pursuit of excellence and engaging alumni and other stakeholders in the advancement of the institution. CUHK takes a holistic approach to social responsibility, connecting and articulating its vision, goals and priorities to guide planning and management practices. We engage the University community throughout the process to ensure that all members understand and identifywith the CUHK values and the quest for a sustainable and just world both for themselves and for those who follow in their footsteps.
