3.2.1 Table: Sustainable Development Strategy

ACOA’s Sustainable Development Strategy 2007‑2010 - Moving Forward on Sustainable Development responds to feedback from both external and internal consultations to promote the use of innovative eco-efficiency tools, practices and technologies, and to inform both the private sector and communities of the benefits of sustainable development.

ACOA impacts sustainable development through:

  • policies and programs that inform and fund private sector businesses;
  • support for research and development that leads to commercialization of new technology;
  • support to communities through infrastructure program funding; and
  • the efficiency of its internal operations.
