Company Strategic Sustainabilty Program
A rethink of what a sustainable Council might look like and the pathway to achieve it.
Objective: Create an internal sustainable strategic framework that is inclusive, flexible and can be used for both internal and external engagement while enabling a pathway to successful sustainable action within Council.
Description: The ‘Ways of Living Principles’ framework was conceived, designed, and implemented as a set of council wide corporate sustainability principles. These were positioned within the Council ‘Stewarding our Natural Resources’ strategic platform.
The Principles framework was designed around long-term thinking, resource use, efficiencies, nature, the built environment, community, and council culture.
Achieved: Endorsed by Chief Executive, lead Councillors, senior team, and management, as well as the wider council staff. Seen as progressive, easy to follow and inspirational. Embedded into Council strategy.
