Sustainability Report 2009
Abstract
This report discusses both the Army's progress--such as reducing Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) releases and Soldier accidental fatalities-and areas where operational demands called for increased Army sustainability efforts, such as the trend in hazardous waste disposal. Seven years of overseas engagements and the demands of repeated deployments have stretched and stressed the Army's institution, support structures, equipment, Soldiers, Families, and Civilians. Although much work remains, the Army continues to pursue strategies to increase sustainability-to support the mission by reducing impact on the environment and improving community relations and Soldier, Family, and Civilian well-being. The Army is a vast and complex enterprise that includes operational (training and warfighting) and institutional functions. In accordance with GRI, the report contains a complete index to all the recommended GRI sustainability performance metrics (Tables 3-6 in the Annex). These tables have links to the publicly available Army reports that contain information related to each of the GRI recommended economic, environmental, and social responsibility performance metrics.
