FINDING SUSTAINABLE PATHWAYS

OUR PROCESS

Our process helps Canada achieve sustainable development solutions that integrate environmental and economic considerations to ensure the lasting prosperity and well-being of our nation.

RESEARCH

We rigorously research and conduct high quality analysis on issues of sustainable development. Our thinking is original and thought provoking.

CONVENE

We convene opinion leaders and experts from across Canada around our table to share their knowledge and diverse perspectives. We stimulate debate and integrate polarities. We create a context for possibilities to emerge.

ADVISE

We generate ideas and provide realistic solutions to advise governments, Parliament and Canadians. We proceed with resolve and optimism to bring Canada’s economy and environment closer together.

Leaders

The Round Table process is based on a broad collaboration of stakeholders who include leaders in industry, government, and environment. One of the keys to the success of integrating the environment into our economic decisions is to ensure the support of top decision makers in the country with the will to achieve that goal. These people bring a unique perspective to our work – in particular with regards to the important issue of governance. These leaders are often invited to speak at our plenary sessions. These are also opportunities to inform them on our work and to enlist their support for our activities.
