Regulations

The following are state and city campaigns and decrees that complement Hunter Green initiatives and help shape its operations and efforts:

Directing State Agencies to Adopt a Sustainability and Decarbonization Program

Signed in September 2022, Executive Order 22 (E.O. 22) revokes all existing sustainability driven executive orders for state agencies and public authorities, and supersedes them into one legislation for accelerating efforts to make State operations more sustainable.

New York State’s sustainability efforts previously operated under four prior Executive Orders:

  • E.O. 4 (2008)
  • E.O. 18 (2009)
  • E.O. 88 (2012) and
  • E.O. 166 (2017)

E.O. 22 sets new goals and targets for the environmental performance of State agencies, including new operational directives and requirements for Reporting, Vehicle Electrification, Healthy Buildings & Construction, Waste Reduction and alignment with The Climate Act to achieve 100% zero-emission electricity by 2030! E.O. 22 further establishes the GreenNY Council as the responsible party to direct implementation of this new executive mandate.

GREEN PURCHASING GUIDELINES

A multitude of green product preferences and performance requirements must be followed when procuring select goods and services. The GreenNY criteria for the sustainable performance of products, services, and technology are put in place by New York State for public agencies like CUNY and Hunter to help minimize the negative climate and environmental & health impacts of their operations. If you are tasked with sourcing and procuring items for your department or division please check out these sustainable purchasing requirements.
