Sustainable Development

Environmentally sustainable development is the best means to ensure global progress and improve the livelihoods of people in developing countries.

  • Canada should be a leading proponent of sustainable development internationally, by demonstrating through government policies and corporate actions that economic growth, enhanced living standards and environmental protection can be mutually supportive.
  • Government policy should enable Canadian industries to become among the most efficient producers of natural resources and manufactured goods internationally, and a growing supplier of environmentally enhanced products and services to global markets.
  • In their international operations, Canadian-based companies should embrace the same high standards of environmental protection, resource efficiency and community engagement that they do within Canada.
