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.
