Our three primary sustainability goals:

Steward a healthy environment to enhance the well-being of Cuyahoga County residents and visitors.
Develop the County in a sustainable manner and enable equitable, green jobs.
Engage, educate, and activate our stakeholders on important sustainability matters.
