The Office of Sustainability was created by Mayor Fischer to both enhance our quality of life now, and to create lasting environmental, economic and community vitality for future generations of Louisville residents.

The Office performs the following key functions:
  • Develop sustainability policies and guidelines within Louisville Metro Government to effect behavior change, reduce costs, and promote coordination.
  • Coordinate and collaborate on community sustainability initiatives, including the realms of economic, social and environmental issues.
  • Establish public-private partnership opportunities toward achieving Louisville’s sustainability goals.
  • Create opportunities to spur economic development by attracting green industries and jobs.
