B- Dept. of the Interior Dept. of the Interior 2010 Web Pages The U.S. Department of the Interior’s FY 2008 Annual Environmental Management Systems Report, FY 2008-2012 Workforce and Succession Plan, Green Purchasing Plan, Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan, and 2010 web pages contain much information on the department’s environmental and social programs and goals. The department has numerous energy and water conservation projects including the implementation of solar panels. Although the department has a good discussion of these programs and initiatives, and states that data are collected and reported, not much of the data is provided; lacking are data on environmental issues such as energy use, water conservation, and waste production; and on employee data such as turnover and accident rate. The Department of the Interior has a number of initiatives that show its dedication to the country’s Native American population; however, it does not report similar initiatives on its responsibility to its workforce, nor does it provide a code of ethics.

B+ Dept. of Transportation Dept. of Transportation 2010 Web Pages The U.S. Department of Transportation is a huge agency and provides a large amount of sustainability information on its website, but it is not centralized, nor is there a central sustainability index for it, so it is difficult to sort out. Rather the information is provided piecemeal as it has come in from various divisions. Similar to the sustainability issue, it is difficult to find overall departmental procedures, guidelines, and employment information for the entire Department of Transportation. The next iteration of DOT's website should provide a more integrated approach.
