The Sustainable Development Strategy of the Department of
Justice for 2001-2003 focuses on the areas in which the
Department can have the most positive impact. It is
consistent with and supports interdepartmental work to
coordinate the development of sustainable development
strategies across government. The objectives have been chosen
to reflect the Department's three main activities: client
services, policy and administration. The objectives are as
follows:
-
Support sustainable development across government
through the delivery of high-quality legal services and
the development of legal infrastructure.
-
Explore the implications of social and cultural factors
for sustainable development in the context of the
Justice policy mandate.
-
Reduce the direct environmental impact of Justice's
physical operations.
In developing this Strategy, the Department followed the
direction given to federal departments by the Commissioner of
the Environment and Sustainable Development. The management
system that will be applied in implementation is consistent
with the management model supported by the Commissioner.
Application of this management system will help Justice
continually improve its sustainable development efforts.
Under the client services element of this Strategy, Justice
will continue to do leading-edge work that supports client
departments and agencies in their sustainable development
priorities and ensures consistent, coordinated legal
approaches across the federal government. Under the policy
element, the Department will contribute to the social
infrastructure that is an important foundation for
sustainable development. Under the greening element, Justice
will continue to make progress in achieving a high level of
environmentally responsible behaviour in its physical
operations across Canada.
