About Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV):
Sustainable Silicon Valley (SSV) is a dynamic collaboration of 120+ businesses, governments, academic
and non-governmental organizations (Partners), and scores of volunteers addressing environmental
sustainability in Silicon Valley. We envision a healthy environment, a vibrant economy, and a socially
equitable community. SSV was designed to move beyond the traditional command-and-control model
of environmental regulation to one of collaboration and partnership. By focusing on the desired
outcome, rather than compliance-driven standards, participants can choose the methods to reach that
outcome that make the most sense financially and technologically for each of them. We operate at the
intersection of policy and action.
