We issued our first set of community indicators for sustainability in 1993, and won an award in 1996 from the United Nations for “Excellence in Indicators Best Performance” for our second indicators report. Sustainable Seattle has given rise to leaders in the sustainability field, including major consultants, policy makers and business leaders.
