Sustainable development operations in Defra
Sustainable development impacts of the way that government runs its estate are managed through targets set in the Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government Estate.The original Framework set operational targets for government departments between July 2002 and June 2006 and comprised nine suites of targets:
- Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government estate - original targets (on Sustainable Development website)
These targets were reviewed during 2006 and a new set of operational targets were announced on 12 June 2006:
- Targets for sustainable operations on the government estates - targets revised 2006 (on Sustainable Development website)
Everyone in Government, from Sustainable Development Ministers and Permanent Secretaries downwards, is urged to give these targets their support and play their part in achieving them.
