2014 Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan

Abstract

The mission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is to provide vital public engineering services in peace and war to strengthen the Nation s security, support the economy, and reduce risks from disasters. To achieve this mission, USACE contributes to the national welfare and serves the public by providing quality and responsive services to the Nation, the Army, and other customers in a manner that is environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. Continued integration of sustainability into the USACE mission and organizational culture is essential to success in achieving federal sustainability goals. USACE will continue to employ a systems-based, continual improvement approach to integrate sustainability into its mission and organizational culture, with an ultimate goal of assignment and acceptance of personal responsibility for achieving a sustainable future by all members of the organization. USACE will continue to use, at all levels of command, a recurring cycle of planning, execution, measurement, performance review, and annual course-correction/redirection, that will integrate sustainability more deeply into its mission and the organizational culture with every passing year. Sustainability plays a prominent role in the USACE Campaign Plan (UCP). UCP Objective 1c, Support the Nation and the Army in achieving our energy security and sustainability goals, is organized into three actions: Action 1: Achieve federal targets within USACE s internal operations and infrastructure. Action 2: Support Army Energy Programs. Action 3: Successfully design and construct sustainable facilities (regardless of location). This USACE 2014 Sustainability Plan (SP) is focused on Action 1 and describes USACE s past sustainability performance and the priority strategies the Command will employ through fiscal year (FY) 2015 to maintain or improve performance.
