Table 8 – Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS)
SDS Departmental Goals: Our SDS 2007-2009 fully supports the Greening of Government Operations Guidance for Organizations Developing Sustainable Development Strategies, incorporating targets and performance measures for the three key priority areas of Building Energy, Vehicle Fleet and Green Procurement. This will ensure that we are well positioned to work and report on the priority areas in a coordinated, government-wide fashion. As well, PWGSC fully supports the common federal sustainable development goals, and uses them as a framework for our departmental commitments.
PWGSC's departmental SDS goals are provided below in the context of the federal and greening government operations (GGO) goals to which they contribute.
Federal SD Goal(s), including GGO goals: For SDS 2007-2009, PWGSC's goals are:
Goal 1: Governance for Sustainable Development - Strengthen federal governance and decision making to support sustainable development (contributes to federal SD Goal VI and GGO goal on green procurement)
Goal 2: Sustainable Development and Use of Natural Resources (contributes to federal SD Goal V)
Goal 3: Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions (contributes to federal SD Goal III and GGO goals on building energy and vehicle fleet)
Goal 4: Sustainable Communities - Communities enjoy a prosperous economy, a vibrant and equitable society, and a healthy environment for current and future generations (contributes to federal SD Goal IV)
