Sustainable SITES Initiative

Sustainable Sites Initiative

SITES is a rating system that guides, evaluates and certifies a project’s sustainability in the planning, design, construction and management of landscapes and other outdoor spaces.

SITES supports landscape architects, planners and others in implementing nature-based solutions. SITES projects enhance biodiversity and mitigate climate change, while conserving resources, improving public health and protecting critical ecosystems.

Logo

The SITES logo has been designed to ensure balanced proportions. These proportions should be strictly adhered to in order to maintain brand integrity. Long orientation should be used on print collateral such as one pagers, letters, handouts, etc.

Always make sure that there is adequate ‘clearspace’ around the logo.

Rule of thumb: make sure any other graphic elements or text are separated from the logo by at least the height of the SUSTAINABLE text in the logo.
