Government by Example
Federal Government Thought Leadership
Produced in Association with Deloitte
Deloitte and Kyoto Publishing are working together to produce “Government by Example,” a published report and companion website to help federal and state agencies implement the executive orders and programs aimed at placing the U.S. government as a leader in climate neutral strategies.
The U.S. government occupies 500,000 buildings, operates 600,000 vehicles, employs 1.8 million civilians and purchases $500 billion per year in goods and services. Placing sustainability at the core of decision making will change the way we interact with government. The challenge for the agencies will be moving from the presidential commitment to strategy, policy, implementation and governance. We will deliver a guide to accelerate that journey.
The Report will contain peer-reviewed white papers, case studies, interviews and vendor profiles that share a range of thinking on strategies, challenges and solutions for achieving leadership in environmental, energy and economic performance. The content is being drawn from thought leaders that hold a variety of positions including consultants, government officials, academics, analysts, and solution providers.
The Report will deliver examples of the government and business achieving energy, cost, and environmental impact reduction as they adopt sustainable strategies. Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance – Executive Order 13514, provides a methodology for coordinated action across all agencies.

This facility will feed renewable energy back into the grid on weekends and cover 30 acres.
