A VERY BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ORANGE COUNTY SUSTAINABILITY COLLABORATIVE

In 2007, a small group of Orange County sustainability leaders from the private sector, local government and academia agreed that a new forum was needed to make sustainability a practical reality in Orange County.

Since then, the organization has held its first Leadership Dialogue event at the University of California Irvine, incorporated, and is working to achieve not-for-profit status in 2012.

In this time, OCSC has also reached out to local businesses, universities, government agencies, communities, and not-for-profit organizations to join forces in achieving a “Greener Orange”.

MISSIONThe OCSC encourages leadership to promote the principles of sustainability, smart growth, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. We take concerted and practical action to improve the quality of life through:• Awareness• Education• Outreach and • Community involvement.
