Sustainability is an integrated, ever -evolving concept and is vital in <br />developing a resilient community. Defined in 1987 by the United <br />Nations Brundtland Commission, sustainability is meeting the needs <br />of the present without compromising the ability of future generations <br />to meet their own needs. For any community to thrive, it must <br />consider that all resources have limits. <br />The City of Louisville <br />recognizes that sustainability <br />is not based solely on <br />environmental impact, and <br />our sustainability vision <br />utilizes the triple -bottom line <br />approach when analyzing <br />policy, operations and future <br />decision -making. No solution <br />can be sustainable unless it <br />fulfills all three pillars. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP <br />We actively work to support our natural systems within Louisville and evaluate and <br />consider the impact that community operations, programs, services and <br />regulations have on the local, regional and global environment. <br />SOCIAL EQUITY <br />Social equity is our active commitment to fairness and equality in policy <br />consideration, implementation and distribution of public services. <br />ECONOMIC VITALITY <br />We are dedicated to making Louisville a vibrant and diverse business <br />environment. Louisville takes a balanced approach to economic <br />development to retain our existing business partners and attract new ones. <br />_ _ 39 <br />
