Waterloo is a member of the local Regional Sustainability Initiative, managed by Sustainable Waterloo Region. This community-wide effort engages organizations within Waterloo Region to convert an interest in sustainability into action and progress. Over 70 organizations are participating, across public, private, and not-for profit sectors. Participating organizations commit to developing a baseline, establishing reduction targets in a variety of impact areas, and reporting on their progress to the broader community. In addition, the initiative encourages knowledge sharing between organizations, recognition of mutual success, and a collaborative approach.
