The Department of Homeland Security has developed a Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan to clearly define goals and metrics to track progress in increasing energy efficiency, reducing fleet petroleum consumption, conserving water, reducing waste, supporting sustainable communities and leveraging federal purchasing power to promote environmentally preferred products and technologies.
