Corporate Sustainability Strategy


The Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) Corporate Sustainability Strategy 2010-2015 sets our strategic direction. It embeds sustainability in the SCA’s governance and structures and in our business and operational plans.

The SCA recognises that we must continue to change the way we do business to balance our social, environment, and economic responsibilities. We have refocussed our values and behaviour to be more sustainable in achieving the organisation’s vision and role.

The SCA will begin reporting its performance against the Corporate Sustainability Strategy's key focus areas in the 2010-11 Annual Report.

The six key focus areas are:

Engaged People
