WV SUSTAINABILITY MISSION STATEMENT

Submitted by the Green Team

April 2012

Preamble: The following Mission Statement is an example of the unique strength inherent in the collegial mix of the GreenTeam, a committed group of residents, and the administration. While a sustainability mission statement was recommended as a component of the BRAG application, more importantly, it is a necessary foundation for moving forward in the “GREEN” effort at Willamette View. A major interim goal is that Sustainability will be an integral part of the WV STRATEGIC PLAN under the Operational Excellence component, following approval by our CEO and Board. These actions will undoubtedly lead to operational cost savings for Willamette View and recognition as a sustainability leader among CCRCs in our region and the nation. The ultimate goal is that we reduce our adverse impact on Planet Earth!
