Planning and Administration Goals
Focus Areas
Through a comprehensive planning process, we established sustainability goals across three key focus areas within the plan’s physical scope: planning and administrative, sustainable operations, and the built environment — all aimed at creating a meaningful environmental impact.
Plan Vision
In the spirit of Meliora, “Ever Better”.
The Sustainability Plan lays the foundation for paving the way to a more sustainable future, forging creative and effective solutions to combat the environmental challenges facing our local and global community. By operating in line with our sustainability commitments, we aim to foster a culture that integrates planetary health, social equity, and economic vitality to create thriving, healthy, diverse, and resilient communities for this and future generations.
