Next steps

This report represents the final year of reporting on our commitments in the SD strategy for 2001-2004. We are pleased with our results, namely our management framework for SD, and our move from ad-hoc to systematic environmental management.

Areas left to strengthen include communicating SD to all employees, which is a large task given the size (over 40,000 employees) and location of our employees all across Canada. We also need to move from the exploratory to action stage in integrating SD into our programs. Finally, we need to maintain SD leadership within the Agency and continue to support our SD Network.

Our SD strategy for 2004-2007 will lead us into our next phase of SD commitments at the CRA. This third strategy will be similar to the previous strategy, except with a more strategic approach to achieving our SD outcomes. The focus of the strategy will be to: reduce the effects of our operations on land, air, and water; demonstrate sustainable delivery of our programs; have all employees apply sustainable development in their jobs; and ensure modern systems that support and maintain SD at the CRA.
