Stanford’s Quiet Leap Towards Sustainable Waste Collection

These groups showcase how planning for sustainability, climate adaptation, and resilience is possible for long-term efficiency, performance, and financial health. Through its day-to-day operations, LBRE lays the groundwork for sustainability innovation to emerge and thrive.
