Executive Order 135143 Goals for Improvement
Executive Order (EO) 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance:
Instills sustainability into government operations Requires a deliberative planning process and Plan of Action to meet eight specific reduction goals by year 2020 Improves federal government efficiency in key areas of priority: GHG emission reductions Increased energy efficiency Minimization of chemicals/wastes of environmental concern Improved water resources management Advanced sustainable acquisition
Directs balancing of Economic, Environmental, and Social considerations utilizing a Total System Approach Note: Builds on, but does not replace/revoke EO 13423
Embedding Sustainability through CROSS-CUTTING Approaches
DoD is Incorporating Sustainability into its Day-to-Day Business doctrine policy strategies training operations acquisitions
Across the Military Services… Organizational Changes EXAMPLE: Army “Senior Energy and Sustainability Council” Incorporating into Key Strategies, Policies, Documents EXAMPLES: Navy Environmental Readiness Program Manual Army Campaign Plan strategy map Military Installation Operations EXAMPLE: Integrated NET ZERO Approaches Energy – Water – Waste
The mission of the Department of Defense (DOD) is to provide the
military forces needed to deter war and protect the security of our
country. To successfully execute the DOD mission, our Military
Departments must have the energy, land, air, and water resources
necessary to train and operate, today and in the future, in a world where
there is increasing competition for resources. Sustainability provides the
framework necessary to ensure the longevity of these resources, by
attending to energy, environmental, safety, and occupational health
considerations. Incorporating sustainability into DoD planning and
decision-making enables us to address current and emerging mission
needs and consider future challenges.
Department of Defense Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan
DoD Energy Security
“Energy security for the Department means having assured access to
reliable supplies of energy and the ability to protect and deliver sufficient
energy to meet operational needs. Energy efficiency can serve as a
force multiplier, because it increases the range and endurance of forces
in the field and can reduce the number of combat forces diverted to
protect energy supply lines, which are vulnerable to both asymmetric
and conventional attacks and disruptions.”
— DoD Quadrennial Defense Review, 2010
