Sustainability & Energy

We here in Surrey consider sustainability in everything we do. Our decisions and actions are guided by the Sustainability Charter, the City’s progressive 50-year vision for a sustainable community and overarching policy document.

We're following this Charter by taking action on climate change in our own operations, across the community, and by supporting clean-tech businesses.

We’ve even developed an innovative online Sustainability Dashboard to let you track our progress across dozens of socio-cultural, economic and environmental indicators over time, demonstrating our commitment to Sustainability.

Sign up for our quarterly Sustainability newsletter (Website.New window) to stay up to date on sustainability and climate news with the City of Surrey.
