What is MTOs Statement of Environmental Values (SEV) and how is it being considered in the NGTA study?
The Statement of Environmental Values (SEV) is a ministry statement that sets out its commitment to the environment and guides the ministry in ensuring that the environment is considered in its decision-making. The Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) Act requires that ministries prepare and consider their SEV wherever decisions that might significantly affect the environment are made. In other words, the Ministry must demonstrate ‘how the purposes of the EBR will be integrated with other considerations, such as the environment, socio-economic and scientific issues that are part of the decision-making within the Ministry’. The Vision Statement in MTO’s SEV calls for the Ministry to be a world leader in moving people and goods safely, efficiently and sustainably to support a globally competitive economy and a high quality of life.
