Sustainability Strategy

The sustainability strategy for Herefordshire Council is inspired by, builds upon and contributes to the Community Strategy for Herefordshire - the top-level plan for the county - in which the Herefordshire Partnership sets out its vision for Herefordshire.

The overarching objective of this strategy is to:

'Guide the Council in integrating and coordinating the principles of sustainability across its strategies, plans, policies and actions'.

More specifically, its strategic aims are to:

1. Support and coordinate Council activities that further sustainability objectives.
2. Increase awareness and provide a point of reference for all interested in maximising sustainable development within their work for the Council.
3. Build a framework for streamlining sustainability objectives across the Council's plans, policies, budgets and strategies. This framework will identify and encourage shared, quantified outcomes that contribute to a sustainable Herefordshire.
4. Communicate the Council's commitment to sustainable development to the public.
