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.

In the spirit of Meliora, “Ever Better”.
We’re leading the way to a more sustainable future, forging creative and effective solutions to combat the environmental challenges facing our local and global community. We 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.
