About this file
This is a Purchasing Sustainability Statement document from the City of Lewisville, Texas, outlining the municipality's commitment to sustainable procurement practices in support of its Lewisville 2025 strategic plan. The City of Lewisville adopted the Lewisville 2025 plan on July 14, 2014, following extensive public input and stakeholder consultation. The plan identifies nine strategic "Big Moves" to guide the community toward becoming a thriving, desirable destination, with sustainability serving as one of the key initiatives. The Purchasing Division established sustainability goals focused on supporting environmental stewardship, fiscal responsibility, and social responsibility through the procurement of materials, products, and services that demonstrate these principles. The statement defines sustainability as the efficient use of limited resources—including land, water, energy, clean air, natural assets, and public funds—to provide current quality of life and business climate benefits without compromising the ability of future generations to achieve the same outcomes.
The City has committed to evaluating environmental factors during purchasing decisions, including but not limited to recycled content, product life cycle assessments, waste reduction, energy efficiency, toxicity levels, water consumption, and human health impacts. Prospective vendors may be required to provide specific documentation addressing the environmental impacts of their products and services across multiple categories, such as energy consumption reduction, toxicity and emissions reduction, waste reduction, recyclable materials content, and water consumption reduction. The evaluation framework includes a standardized assessment mechanism requiring vendors to indicate whether their offerings address each environmental factor and to provide supporting documentation as needed to substantiate environmental claims and compliance with the City's sustainability objectives.

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.
