First published in 2009, these were updated and re-launched in May 2016. The Principles are embedded in government policy through franchising, HLOS and the 2012 command paper; and in industry plans through the CP5 Industry Strategic Business Plan and the Initial Industry Advice for CP6. The rail industry is giving sustainable development an increasing level of priority, as seen in Network Rail's CP5 SD strategy and increasingly ambitious franchise bids. This has been reflected in the recent RSSB member consultation which gave strong support to increased focus and resources for sustainable development in RSSB's future activities, with 88% of members "positive about developing sustainability capacity at RSSB" and 90% of respondents "very keen to include sustainability as part of the future agenda". To ensure that any increase in focus and resources meets industry needs, RDG has commissioned RSSB to develop an industry sustainable development strategy. This would align sustainable development with other RSSB strategic priorities such as standards and health and safety. The remit for the strategy is to identify existing commitments, plans and ambitions against the Rail Sustainable Development Principles; identify where there are gaps; identify the potential for more stretching ambitions; and understanding the value to the industry and the wider economy in meeting ambitions. ### Tasks We are looking for technical support to develop the plan. Specifics tasks include: - Gap analysis: o Through literature reviews and stakeholder engagement, where appropriate, to identify all existing industry-level plans, ambitions and targets across each element of the Rail Sustainable Development Principles. Identify where there are gaps - ie where there are no industry plans against issues in the Principles.
