Governing for sustainability
Governance Structure
ArchSD has a sound governance system with long-term sustainability objectives and a mechanism for monitoring progress.
A Senior Staff Forum (SSF) chaired by the Director is in place to oversee the internal operations and implementation of sustainability strategies and policies.
Chaired by the Director, the SSF
The SSF also reviews the projects’ potential negative impacts in both short- and long-term on the surrounding community, including environmental and social impacts. These concerns are clearly outlined in the Department’s tender documents for mitigation or remediation by the contractor.
