Mission

Sustainable Kingston's mission is to enhance the livability and resiliency of Kingston. We do this by sharing knowledge and providing programs that drive community action.

Vision

Our vision is to be an organization that facilitates the effective transition towards environmental, social, cultural, and economic sustainability. To raise awareness and establish strategic partnerships to inspire community engagement and foster more livable and resilient communities.   

Diversity Statement

Sustainable Kingston is dedicated to sharing knowledge, raising awareness, and building community—starting with our own organization. Our mission is only possible when everyone feels represented, valued, and empowered to share their experiences and ideas, so we actively work to create a culture of listening, learning, and inclusion. We believe diverse voices and different perspectives lead to deeper understanding, stronger partnerships, and better innovation.

Sustainability

We believe it is crucial to walk-the-talk by measuring and reporting on our own sustainability efforts. It takes all of us working together to become a sustainable city. Check out our Sustainability Profile here.

OUR History
