Summary: | ![]() The aim is to establish how well the sustainable development principles are being applied within DWP’s core business and to identify both positive and negative practices, impacts and any opportunities. The benefit to the Department of such an approach is the provision of independent advice to enable further progress on conducting its core business more sustainably and therefore more efficiently. In particular, DWP will be better positioned to contribute to the Government’s aims of "mainstreaming sustainable development" and being the "greenest Government ever" through, for example, reducing its carbon emissions by 10% in the first year of the new administration and delivering greater social justice in the long-term through better public policy. |
