The City of Rochester plays a critical role in advancing citywide sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals by leading by example, implementing policies, and fostering community-wide initiatives. By adopting sustainable practices such as enhancing the energy efficiency of its facilities, increasing renewable energy use, and electrifying fleet vehicles, the City not only reduces its own environmental impact but also creates social and economic benefits for the community. With a strong emphasis on the triple bottom line—people, planet, and profit—the City of Rochester enhances the quality of life for residents through public education, incentives, and collaboration with local stakeholders, contributing to a more resilient and thriving community.
