Table 9: Sustainable Development Strategy



Department Justice Canada
Points to address Departmental Input
1. How does your department plan to incorporate SD principles and values into your mission, vision, policy and day-to-day operations? 1. Our awareness campaign on sustainable development and its key objectives will contribute to greater advocacy and implementation of sustainability with a view to enhancing the fairness, relevance and accessibility of the justice system. This can be done through sharing of best practices such as, dispute resolution, more effective use of technology, the environmental assessment of programs and policies.

2. By providing in-house opportunities or in conjunction with other GOC client departments to host training venues for policy and legal advisors on SD values and commitments, both domestic and international, as well as training managers responsible for procurement, IT services and material management.

3. By identifying activities which will provide for tangible reductions in energy consumption, waste disposal and/or complimentary increases in recycling and redistribution of materials by the coming into force of the proposed GOC green procurement policy.
2. What Goals, Objectives and Targets from your most recent SDS will you be focusing on this coming year? How will you measure your success? 1. Gauge the awareness and knowledge of sustainable development among employees by conducting a departmental baseline survey and establish a target level of increased awareness to be achieved.

2. Identify and promote best practices already supporting sustainable development, and identify other activities that could benefit from greater research into their potential connection to sustainable development.

3. Encourage greater networking by hosting training venues or learning events to enhance the effectiveness of our policy and legal advisors in implementing SD principles in their everyday practice. Evaluations to be conducted of training to gauge participant response.

4. Increase efforts to reduce the department's impact on our physical environment through better communications and coordination with our regional offices with the sharing of best practices.
3. Identify any sustainable Development tools, such as Strategic Environmental Assessments or Environmental Management Systems that will be applied over the next year. 1. Best practices have been identified, documented and posted on our sustainable development Web site as part of on-going educational efforts. The aim of the Web site is to serve as a clearinghouse of tools, resources and a source of e-learning on sustainable development for Justice employees.

2. Promote and monitor the practice of conducting SEA as a matter of course when implementing policies, programs or in the consideration of legal instruments. To this end, offer online or classroom training to practitioners on how to effectively apply this assessment to their work.

3. To continue to build on the department's sustainable development conference to identify or support the creation of practice groups, tools and resources to promote the integration of sustainable development objectives into their legal and policy work.

4. The adoption of the GOC's proposed green procurement policy for Justice's operations will allow for better use of material resources, improved management of waste and more effective use of technology.
