Our principles

The SDC and UK Government have agreed a common approach to assessing whether or not a policy delivery is sustainable - these are the 'Five principles of sustainable development'.

The principles are outlined in the UK Framework for Sustainable Development 'One future - different paths', agreed by the UK Government (including Northern Ireland), Welsh Assembly and Scottish Executive and reflected in their strategies.

Our Principles

These principles form the basis of national sustainable development strategies/action plans. The UK Government, for example, adopted the principles in 'Securing the future' which was developed in parallel to the shared framework document in March 2005.
