Goals, Objectives, Strategies and Results

Performance measures and targets, outlined below, track progress towards achieving stated goals and objectives of the organization. Performance measures indicate overall progress in achieving targets with regard to key objectives. Strategies indicate how these objectives will be achieved. Each year, annual Service Plan Reports will compare actual performance with targets set out in the Service Plan. Performance measures and targets will be examined annually to ensure they remain relevant and reflect operational experience and changes in areas relevant to environmental assessment.

The objectives, strategies and targets outlined in this section are based on planned expenditures and staffing levels. Achievement of the objectives and targets may be affected by unpredictable external factors, such as number of projects which are outside the control of the Environmental Assessment Office. Some will depend on the direct, constructive engagement of proponents, the public and First Nations.

The core business areas support two broadly-stated organizational goals, four key objectives, and a series of specific strategies designed to achieve the mandate of the Environmental Assessment Office.

		Goal 1: Efficient and Effective Delivery of Environmental Assessment.

		Goal 2: Organizational Excellence.
