Table 2: Sustainable Development Strategy

1. SDS Departmental Goal:
Since its first Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) was tabled in Parliament, Defence has focused on the overarching goal of integrating environmental considerations into decision-making at every level of the organization. Our environmental vision, as set out in the 2006 version of the Defence SDS, as well as the Defence Administrative Order and Directive 4003-0, reiterate the SDS departmental goal. The Defence SDS explains in detail the nature and extent of the integration of environmental considerations in DND.

2. Federal SD Goal including Greening of Government Operations (GGO) goals:
Implementation of the fourth iteration of our SDS began on April 1^st 2007. Defence focuses equally on all of the goals, objectives and targets (or commitments) made in the SDS in order to achieve sustainability within the organization. Our efforts are focused on four strategic commitments, each supported by measurable and time-bound sub-commitments (targets). The four strategic commitments are to:

Develop a framework of land use management putting our lands on a steady-state footing of sustainability;
Actively promote the application of innovative Green Building principles and share lessons learned with the broader federal community;
Implement a proactive and comprehensive Green Procurement program across the Defence organization; and,
Actively and innovatively prevent negative environmental impacts of specific activities over which Defence can exercise a mitigating influence.

Each of these strategic commitments relates to one or more federal SD goals (specifically the GGO element of those goals). A detailed crosswalk establishing the linkages is included in the Defence SDS at Table 4, page 33 of the document which is available on the Internet at: http://www.admie.forces.gc.ca/dge/SDS/SDS2006_e.htm.

3. Performance Measure from current SDS
Defence strategic commitments are supported by a total of 16 sub-commitments that provide concrete indications of the Department's progress toward achievement of the strategic commitments. Each of these sub-commitments comprises a concise statement of the desired end state (example, Strategic Commitment 4.2, Reduce the long-term impact of releases to the environment) supported by objective indicators (Increase the recovery of lead by 5% from the 2003-2004 baseline) and supporting actions (Screen backstop material on small arms ranges to recover metal
fragments; Investigate the use of alternate backstop/bulletstop designs that facilitate metal recovery). These sub-commitments or targets are set out in detail in Table 1, page 23 of the Defence SDS document. In addition, Guidance sheets to support each of the sub-commitments have been produced to provide those responsible for implementing the target with the name and coordinates of a subject-specific expert for each target, the definition and scope of the sub-commitment, an action plan for achieving it, and a template to ensure uniform data collection.

4. Department's Expected Results for fiscal year 2008-2009
As noted above, each of the four strategic commitments is supported by a number of specific sub-commitments, which are measurable, time-bound targets that, taken together, will result in the successful achievement of the commitments. Since the Department's commitments are largely multi-year in nature (i.e., exceeding the three-year reporting cycle of the SDS process), the targets cannot be precisely measured as an annual percentage of completion. Rather, the data reported annually through the chain of command is analyzed and graded as: target exceeded ((if the three-year goal has been achieved before completion of the three-year cycle); target met (applicable only at the end of each three-year cycle); target on track (where progress in a given year indicates that the target can be met for the three-year reporting); or progress unsatisfactory (where analysis indicates that meeting the target will be problematic based on evaluation of the data submitted through the annual reporting exercise). The Department expects to report target on trackfor each of the 16 targets that support our strategic commitments for fiscal year 2008-2009.

In addition, the Department monitors the untargeted performance of an additional four activities that are of continuing interest to the sustainable development community. This exercise provides the data that may be required for government-wide reporting, and allows Defence to identify unexplained and significant variances that would warn of the need for corrective action up to and including re-introducing the activity as a targeted activity in a future SDS.
