The Greenprint Denver initiative aims to connect people with nature and promote biodiversity within the city.

Mission Statement

The mission of Greenprint Denver is to provide leadership and solutions to ensure a prosperous community where people and nature thrive.

Guiding Principles

  • Communicate sustainability as a public value and expand the concept of the city as a steward of public resources.
  • Support sustainability as a core business value to improve efficiencies in resource use, reduce
    environmental impact, and invoke broad cultural changes.
  • Incorporate “triple bottom line” analysis, seeking to balance economic, social and environmental considerations into all city policy and program decisions.
  • Set clear metrics of success and report on our progress moving forward through annual report cards.
  • Pursue activities that support environmental equity and health for all citizens.
  • Partner with community organizations, cultural institutions and businesses to achieve broad impact.
  • Lead by example in city practice wherever possible.
