We value the health of our environment, community and economic prosperity. Finding the right balance of integrating these three principles is vital to the sustainability of our future.

EPC and Hillsborough County are striving to make decisions that benefit the people of our community, the natural resources of our environment, and our local economy. To accomplish this, we aim to conserve energy, reduce waste, explore clean technologies and build resiliency.  We are committed to working together to achieve a sustainable society through engaging with our stakeholders, fostering collaboration, promoting partnerships, and cultivating awareness. Please join us in this journey as we make sustainability a priority in our daily operations around the county and in our everyday lives.
