2. The Executive Branch Management Scorecard  Promotes sustainability in a manner consistent with Government Performance and Results Act and President’s Management Agenda  Based on Presidential direction and other mandates  Incorporates outcome-oriented measures  Reflects Agency efforts to enhance sustainability in: –Energy –Environment (including Sustainable Buildings) –Transportation

3. NASA’s Approach  Understand Executive Order requirements  Translate requirements into terms the Agency understands and values  Collaboratively establish Agency policy  Provide strong functional leadership  Ensure access to adequate resources (people, dollars, technical, training) – Not only NASA’s  Conduct functional reviews as appropriate  Monitor and measure results

4. NASA’s Mission  To Pioneer the Future in Space Exploration, Scientific Discovery, and Aeronautics Research and Implement the Vision for Space Exploration  Strategic Goals: –Fly the Shuttle safely until its retirement, not later than 2010 –Bring a new Crew Exploration Vehicle into service ASAP –Develop balanced program of science, exploration and aeronautics –Complete the International Space Station –Pursue commercial space partnerships –Establish a lunar return program

6. Activity Restrictions Aging infrastructure Resource inefficiency Community concerns Regulatory Threats Encroachment Env laws & regs increasing in number and stringency Preservation issues Mission Natural Disasters & Mishaps Rising Energy Costs Answer: It can be, if it contributes to reduced mission risk Question: Is sustainability compatible with NASA’s Space Exploration mission?
