• Implementing sustainable practices in the operation of ASFE, including its home office, by recycling and purchasing recycled materials, reducing paper and energy consumption as well as by actively considering alternate means of delivery for publications and events, and continuing to explore other opportunities to reduce its environmental impact.
• Assisting member firms by undertaking initiatives that provide information and guidance about implementation of leadership-level sustainable practices in their own business operations.
• Assisting member firms to magnify and leverage the impact of their own sustainable practices through their recommendations to clients and through their influence on successful project outcomes.
• Continuing ASFE’s long-standing tradition of openly sharing the experiences of member firms so that we can learn from each other and increase awareness about successful sustainable practices and continual improvement for our own business operations and for our clients’ projects.
• Seeking to educate and influence other technical, professional, and regulatory entities in adapting sustainable policies and programs that have beneficial impacts through identification and objective discussion of trade-offs between sustainable practices, costs, quality and unanticipated future developments. 

ASFE affirms a commitment to take a leadership position with regard to sustainability. ASFE also affirms our belief that as a small organization we create significantly greater value when we help our members firms develop and implement sustainable outcomes in the services they perform for their clients.
