Embedding Sustainable Development
Report proposes Council formally commits to
the over-arching objective of embedding sustainable development in
its strategies, policies and service delivery. By doing so, the
Council will ensure that it has a clear coherent and ethical
framework for its activities, which brings benefits to the
organisation and supports its efforts to optimise outcomes. It is
proposed that the Council manifest its commitment to sustainable
development by pledging to implement the UN Sustainable Development
Goals as they relate to local government.
To support implementation, the Sustainable Procurement Policy Group
should be renamed ‘the Sustainable Development Group’
and its role extended to ensure that appropriate practice is
adopted and followed in how the Council undertakes the full range
of its activities.
