A key issue for organisations that want to respond to the challenge posed by sustainable development is how to take effective action.
SIGMA provides a clear, practical, integrated framework for organisations. It allows an organisation to build on what it has, to take a flexible approach according to its circumstances and to reduce duplication and waste by seeing how different elements can fit together. The SIGMA Guidelines point the practitioner towards the important questions to ask and the actions to resolve them.

SIGMA Guiding Principles
|
Help an organisation understand how it can contribute to sustainable development and offer a framework to help an organisation develop its own robust principles.

|
SIGMA Management Framework integrates sustainable development issues into core processes and mainstream decision-making.
|
Four systematic phases, broken down into detailed sub-phases to allow an organisation to develop, plan, deliver, monitor and report on its sustainable development strategy and performance. The Framework explains clearly and concisely necessary activities, the anticipated outcomes, and lists further resources. It also helps an organisation understand how to build on what it already has in place.
