Sustainability Purchasing Statement for the City of Lewisville, Texas
This file is a purchasing sustainability statement adopted by the City of Lewisville, Texas, as part of the broader Lewisville 2025 strategic plan. The City Council unanimously adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014, following extensive public input and consultation with the Lewisville 2025 Steering Committee, City staff, and professional consultants. The plan establishes a shared community vision for Lewisville's centennial year and identifies nine "Big Moves," one of which is sustainability. The Purchasing Division's goal is to support sustainable management practices through the procurement of materials, products, and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship alongside fiscal and social responsibility. When evaluating purchases, the City considers environmental factors including recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts.
The City requires prospective vendors to provide specific information regarding their products and services' environmental impacts. The sustainability evaluation framework includes assessment criteria addressing energy consumption reduction, toxicity and emissions reduction, waste reduction, recyclable material content, water consumption reduction, and other environmental impacts. Vendors may be required to submit supporting documentation to substantiate their environmental claims. This sustainability statement applies to all City purchases and is intended to guide the Purchasing Division and City staff in making procurement decisions that align with Lewisville's long-term community vision while maintaining responsible stewardship of limited resources including land, water, energy, and public funds.

Lewisville 2025 - Sustainability
Lewisville City Council unanimously adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014. The plan was developed after more than a year of public input and discussion that garnered hundreds of ideas and suggestions. That input was studied extensively by the Lewisville 2025 Steering Committee, City staff and professional consultants and formulated into the Lewisville 2025 plan. The plan provides a clear shared vision for the kind of community Lewisville wants to be when it turns 100 years old in 2025: a place that people choose to live, work and visit.
Lewisville 2025 identifies nine “Big Moves” to guide the community’s efforts toward being a thriving, desirable community. One of these Big Moves is sustainability. Lewisville defines sustainability in this way:
Limited resources, such as land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds are used efficiently to provide a desirable quality of life and business climate today without reducing Lewisville’s ability to provide the desired quality of life and business climate for success of future generations.
The Purchasing Division’s goal is to support and encourage sustainable management practices through the purchase and use of materials, products and services that demonstrate environmental stewardship as well as fiscal and social responsibility. To that end, Lewisville will consider environmental factors such as but not limited to, recycled content, product life cycle, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity, water consumption, and human health impacts when making purchasing recommendations. To assist City staff with evaluating these factors, prospective vendors may be required to provide specific information about their products and services that addresses environmental impacts.
