Message from the Commissioner
As we approach the final year of implementing the Sustainable Development (SD) Strategy 2001-2004, it is an opportune time for us to reflect on our SD journey. We have much to celebrate, and even more opportunities to explore. We completed the first year of implementing our Environmental Management Programs and, through the work of our branches and regions, progressed steadily in getting our house in order. Notwithstanding, far more effort, time, and commitment are required on our part to truly integrate sustainable development into our culture.
We congratulate our branches and regions for the work that they are doing in support of sustainable development. Some areas have done much to increase employee involvement through awareness efforts and recognition, most of which could not be achieved without the leadership and support of senior management and a dedicated SD Network. I encourage you to continue this synergy to complete the commitments of this strategy and, in so doing, to consolidate our foundation for sustainable development.
As an organization, we have significant potential to be recognized as a leader in sustainable development, especially with a mandate that touches the life of every Canadian. As we prepare the SD Strategy 2004-2007, I encourage the input and participation of management and employees at all levels of the organization. By using the lens of our mandate, we can contribute to making Canada a more prosperous and equitable society. Our collective effort will make it happen.
Alan Nymark
