Standard BNQ 9700-021
Sustainable Development - Guidelines for the Implementation of Principles for Management of Enterprises and Other Organizationss

This guide, intended for voluntary use, fosters and encourages application of the 16 principles set out in the Sustainable Development Act (social equity and solidarity, environmental protection, economic efficiency, etc.) and was written for all organizations interested in making sustainable development part of their business strategy. It presents a six-step approach to incorporating the principles of sustainable development:

  • Motivation among senior management
  • Self-evaluation
  • Engagement
  • Planning, priority and implementation
  • Achievements and learning
  • Communication

Because continuous improvement is another objective, the organization can repeat the steps again once they have been completed. This process involves two main tools:

  • Self-evaluation checklist: five levels of maturity ranging from “pre-contemplation” to “industry standard."
  • Strategic checklist: identify the action to be taken and the stakeholders involved in each issue.

This guide is based on the SD 21000 reference document developed by the Association française de normalisation (AFNOR) and adapted to the context of Québec realities.
