This standard BS 8904:2011 Guidance for community sustainable development is classified in these ICS categories:

• 03.100.99 Other standards related to company organization and management
• 13.020.20 Environmental economics

This British Standard provides a framework as recommendations and guidance that assist communities to improve their sustainability. The recommendations and guidance are intended to be applied by communities of any size, structure and type. Structures, processes and themes are described to help to get people involved in what can be, at least initially, diffuse and disparate ideas. To provide coherence and make these elements easier to understand, this standard is based around a series of steps.

The aim is to provide clear, practical guidance to support the cost-efficient and effective organization and development of communities of all types and sizes working to sustainable development principles.
