Office of Sustainability

The Office of Sustainability at Washington County provides a framework for the organization to serve the communities in ways that improve resource conservation, promote equity, and reduces harm to the environment.

 Washington County recognizes the role and responsibility for public agencies to operate sustainably . The Office of Sustainability works to promote the triple bottom line throughout the organization and in our communities. This three-part approach ensures that all aspects of sustainability – environment, economy and equity – are included in the County's business operations. Washington County strives to improve the triple bottom line through policies and programs that:

  • Foster workplace excellence by empowering and engaging employees.
  • Connect a healthy environment with wellness and better quality of life.
  • Recognize and celebrate cultural differences while creating a collaborative work environment.
  • Promote responsible stewardship of County resources.
