Leading by Example (LBE)

Through various initiatives and collaboration with multiple agencies, authorities and public colleges and universities, LBE works to reduce the overall environmental impacts of state government operations, particularly those that contribute to climate change.

The Leading by Example Program works with its public partners across Massachusetts state government to provide leadership, technical assistance, guidance, and grant funding to ensure successful implementation of strategies outlined in Executive Order 484. LBE accomplishes this with a comprehensive set of energy and environmental initiatives.

In an effort to be transparent, the Leading by Example Program published a progress report in the fall of 2014 and has developed a series of graphs and charts documenting state progress toward meeting the goals of Executive Order 484.
