Leverage the County's purchasing power to support organizations achieving positive social and environmental impact

With an annual budget of nearly $50 billion, the County has an immediate opportunity to lead the region toward a more sustainable future by leveraging its own considerable purchasing power. By integrating OurCounty priorities into budget decision-making, the County will advance sustainability in its own operations and public projects alike. Additionally, by developing and implementing contracting and purchasing policies that advance environmental, economic, and equity goals, the County will direct funds and projects toward institutions that embody sustainability themselves and have a positive impact on the region.
