The Sustainable Development Advisory Group (SDAG) is an independent panel of experts that helps to guide us on environmental and consumer issues. The group is made up of policy experts from Government, industry and interest groups who advise us on our priorities for our work as it relates to sustainable development.
The scope of the Group covers all sustainable development aspects of our work, consistent with our statutory responsibilities. Members of the Group participate as individuals and not as representatives of organisations.
Prior to 2011 we used separate groups - the Environmental Advisory Group and the Social Action Strategy Review Group - to advise us on environmental and social policy. The Sustainable Development Advisory Group brings these two functions together.
