CORPORATE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE

1 The principle of sustainability is now being firmly embedded into the management of the County Council, and the Cabinet continues to monitor closely progress against the Sustainable Development Action Plan.

2 In 2003/04 good progress has been achieved with encouraging year-on-year progress in some specific topic areas. Nonetheless the Cabinet feels that there is scope to make greater progress more quickly with more emphasis on cross-cutting opportunities, and the compilation of relevant performance data through refinements to corporate IT systems.

3 The Action Plan 2004/05 now approved by the Cabinet (Appendix 2) will have regard to these views and is underpinned by the Cabinet's strong support for the principle of incorporating sustainable development into the County Council's Corporate Strategy and Performance Plan and the local strategic partnership process.
