EPA Sustainability Plans
Strategic plans help EPA meet federal sustainability requirements and its own internal goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resource use and other environmental impacts.
EPA’s Sustainability Plans identify targets for reducing agencywide GHG emissions and outlines steps to reduce energy, water, waste and other resource use. It also addresses ways the agency will incorporate sustainability across its facilities, purchases and operations. Goal areas include:
- 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity
- 100 percent zero-emission vehicle fleet
- Net-zero emissions buildings, including energy and water efficiency and net-zero emissions construction
- Waste management and diversion
- Sustainable procurement
- Climate- and sustainability-focused federal workforce
- Incorporating environmental justice
- Accelerating progress through partnerships
