About the Program

Category: County Resiliency (Best in Category)

Year: 2014

Broward County has a long history of protecting our environment, supporting a viable economy, and improving the quality of life for its residents and visitors. Environment, economy and community mark the triple bottom line of sustainability. Every project Broward County undertakes has the potential to address sustainability in different ways, from the construction of the new courthouse to shifting to easyPay for employee paychecks, which can serve the people, the planet, and save money. The Go Green Seal of Sustainability program identifies initiatives that provide better government today to ensure the future of Broward County’s environment, economy, and community. The program is used to gather the County’s qualifying green programs and projects under a single brand to highlight the County sustainability efforts, to demonstrate to the public our government’s commitment to sustainable operation, and to spread the culture of sustainability. The Go Green Seal of Sustainability program offers agencies an opportunity to associate the “go green footprint” logo with their sustainability projects, as a seal of sustainability. The program encourages all departments, divisions and employees to think about how their efforts meet the triple bottom line.
