Strategy: Sustainability Audit
|
|
Several people and organizations have inquired about the components of the PSS Sustainability Audit. The following is a brief summary of the three primary elements:
- Management: Assess overall sustainability policies and integration across the organization. Focus on framework, integration, capacity, and measurement.
- Operations: Assess policies and procedures related to purchasing practices, toxic chemicals usage, energy, waste, and water management, as well as carbon footprint, among others.
- Community: Assess methods and processes related to local community needs such as access to green space, local water issues, access to sustainable food, economic development, education, and more.

Leadership is a critical element that keeps organizations running seamlessly and staying knowledgeable of current issues. In a constantly changing environment, it is ever important to stay abreast of local and global leadership trends.
Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, an international thought leader and education center that challenges, informs, and supports leaders to deliver change towards sustainability, believes "Individuals and organizations have to balance a sense of agency, whilst also having the humility to recognize that they need others to achieve real change."
In this vein, Joan Plisko is thrilled to announce she has been accepted in to the Leadership Baltimore County (LBC) class of 2017. LBC is a year long program in which 40 participants engage in experiential activities towards the shared goal of sustaining vibrant and progressive communities.
According to Freeman Hrabowski, III, President of University of Maryland Baltimore County since 1992, "The program provides an excellent networking opportunity for professionals, while also broadening the thinking of participants about economic and societal challenges facing the region."
