Sustainable Development Plan
Sustainable Development Plan
To develop and implement a sustainable development plan, Enviro Curb Manufacturing Inc first began a steering committee and various focus groups to review new product trends and activities in the building materials sector. Out of respect for our stakeholders and we began by gathering their complete and honest opinions to guide us in our approach.
In the eyes of civil society, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) enjoy the highest level of credibility. Enviro Curb decided to perform an environmental NGO, on line survey to better understand what customers were looking for. This information would validate the SD plan development process and the commitments that ensued, in order to benefit from vital advice provided by an independent, neutral third party.
Consultations and Relevance
Listening to our stakeholders was a key step in understanding their expectations and concerns pertaining to Enviro Curbs various business segments and sustainable development issues. In the Fall of 2001, we chaired a meeting with approximately 30 consultants including (Architects and Professional Engineers) followed by a large-scale series of direct consultations with dozens of customers, members of local communities, suppliers, directors and NGO representatives.
Participants responded to our invitation - to reflect on issues such as responsible procurement, product liability, governance and disclosure, as well as the impact of our activities on communities and the environment - by outlining specific strategic priorities that could be used to identify the key performance indicators essential to creating our sustainable development plan.
Consultations and Relevance
These general directions will guide our next steps in the sustainable development plan creation process, in particular as we work towards setting measurable goals, consistent performance indicators and detailed action plans. Our stakeholders will, of course, validate all of these steps on an ongoing basis.
The results of these plans requires more and more quality service, price, performance and the development of solutions for the present with a vision for the future. At Enviro Curb major initiatives will be put in place to better manage important alliances. Our understanding and commitment will make a difference with speed as the major factor that supports our customer's expectations.
