The way forward
The past year saw the completion of the 1997 SD strategy. It was a year focused on getting the CCRA's house in order, especially when it came to reducing the impact of its operations on the environment. As we now begin implementing the second SD strategy for 2001-2004, we will seek to build on the achievements of the first strategy and incorporate the lessons and best practices learned. We will put more emphasis on preparing managers and enabling employees to contribute to SD, as we realize that involving staff provides the greatest opportunity for truly integrating SD into the way the CCRA does business.
We realize that the success of our next SD strategy relies heavily on management leadership and employee commitment. As such, emphasis will be placed on increasing the avenues and tools for disseminating SD information and creating SD knowledge. With management and employee support comes the need to strengthen skills and programs. Efforts will be intensified to staff critical positions with the required skills, implement programs to manage SD commitments, and continue the integration of SD into management tools and practices. We will also work to develop tools and systems that will more accurately capture the results of our SD activities so that we can measure our progress over time.
Finally, working relationships and partnerships will be maintained and strengthened, and new ones will be developed with other government departments and agencies, the private sector, non-profit organizations, clients, and the public. With this focus in mind, we look forward to a successful year in implementing our new SD strategy for 2001-2004.
