Florida: An Amazing Place to Call Home

An Amazing Place To Call Home

Florida is an amazing place to call home. Inspired by opportunity and fueled by exciting ventures from visitors, new residents and industry, we are captivated by her beaches and sunsets, attractions and nightlife and natural landscapes and springs. We stay and invest because of the promise of an even more prosperous future.

To succeed today — individually, collectively and commercially — the marketplace expects that environmental stewardship principles will blend naturally with economic strategies. In other words — we will enjoy a stronger economy without weakening our environment — we will become sustainable.

Sustainable Florida — Collins Center is an alliance of business, government and civic leaders committed to defining excellence for Florida’s economic, environmental and social future. Our mission is to advance the vision of sustainability by identifying, supporting and communicating best management practices — those which protect and preserve Florida’s environment while building markets for Florida’s businesses by enhancing their competitive advantages.

Voluntary sustainable development efforts by public and private organizations across Florida have been judged Best Practices by an independent blue-ribbon panel.

Examine the actions taken by these organizations and individuals to discover how you can follow their lead. Sustainable Florida can assist you on your journey toward a more sustainable Florida.
