Sustainability Reports

The latest Sustainability Report is now available, detailing progress on municipal sustainability and climate action initiatives.

History of the Organization's Efforts

City of Corvallis staff and City Council have been working on sustainability efforts for many years, with emphasis on minimizing the operational impacts on the environment. In the 1990s, the focus was on cost-saving aspects of projects that also had resource saving benefits i.e. identifying ways to reduce energy consumption and preserve financial resources.  Sustainability wasn't a fully-understood concept at that time and staff didn't fully appreciate the additional benefits to the global environment from our cost-saving measures.
