Through Sustainable Cleveland and the Sustainability Master Plan, the City directs departments to prioritize local, energy-efficient, and lower-emission goods and services in municipal purchasing decisions when feasible.
Cleveland's Mayor's Office of Sustainability coordinates with the Office of Procurement and Diversity to embed sustainability criteria into city contracts, including ENERGY STAR equipment, recycled-content paper, lower-emission vehicles, and Northeast Ohio supplier preferences. Codified Ordinances Chapter 187 governs minority and small business utilization, while sustainability standards live in administrative directives rather than a single statutory chapter.
Procurement rules apply to City departments, not residents. Noncompliance is handled administratively through procurement audits and Council oversight.
