Table 3.2: Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS)


SDS Departmental Goals:

Industry Canada’s fourth Sustainable Development Strategy 2006–2009 (SDS IV) seeks to broaden and deepen the practical implementation of the business case for sustainable development in Canadian industry. SDS IV is characterized by the theme "selling the sustainability value proposition," which supports the department’s mandate to strengthen the national economy and promote sustainable development. The strategy is structured around three strategic outcomes that represent what the department aims to achieve over the three-year period:

  • sustainability-driven technologies and commercialization;
  • sustainability tools, practices, research and awareness; and
  • sustainability practices and operations within Industry Canada.

The three strategic outcomes will be advanced by delivering 26 action plan items. SDS IV presents Industry Canada’s renewed path forward in terms of advancing sustainable development with its partners and stakeholders.
