The School will continue to ensure that its decision-making process includes consideration of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) goals and targets through the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process. An SEA for policy, plan or program proposals includes an analysis of the impacts of the given proposal on the environment, including on the FSDS goals and targets. The results of the School's SEAs are made public when an initiative is announced. The purpose of the public statement is to demonstrate that when there are environmental effects, including impacts on achieving the FSDS goals and targets, of the approved policy, plan or program that they have been appropriately considered during proposal development and decision making. Although the School is not bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act and is not required to develop a departmental sustainable development strategy, the School adheres to the principles of the FSDS by implementing the Policy on Green Procurement and is committed to developing a strategy by 2017–18 that focuses on greening operations.
