Sustainable Development Strategies (SDS), prepared by federal departments and agencies under 1995 amendments to the Auditor General Act, are a key element of the Government of Canada’s approach to sustainable development (SD). These strategies provide a tool for departments to systematically consider the implementation of sustainable development into their policies, programs, legislation and operation. These documents build upon the lessons learned and best practices of past strategies, striving to further promote the integration of sustainable development thinking into the Department’s structure, policy and direction.
