Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010-2011 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	100%	14%	Departmental procurement and materiel management staff focused on mandatory training in procurement and materiel management (i.e., PMMRP) in 2010-2011. Green procurement training was re-emphasized in the first half of 2011-2012 and the completion rate has now tripled.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders	100%	1%	AANDC will ensure that acquisition cardholders are aware of the required training to support green procurement policy objectives by sending an e-mail to acquisition cardholders by June 21, 2011.
2. Performance Evaluations	100%	4%	Some functional managers have been made accountable for green procurement through AANDC’s Departmental Business Planning process. AANDC will need to look into the use of line objects and various data fields in Oracle to allow the Department to more readily assess green procurement activities.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	100%	33%	Many of AANDC’s purchases are made through PWGSC National Master Standing Offers (NMSOs), which include environmental performance considerations. AANDC purchases Energy Star monitors, recycled paper and other environmentally friendly products. AANDC also uses strategic environmental assessments, which mandate green procurement considerations. The updated AANDC Materiel Management and Fleet Management policies touch on green procurement issues. Acquisition cards are used as both a procurement and payment tool and remain outside the scope of specific green procurement controls.

 

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Good/Service	Target as % (as reported in 2010-2011 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Passenger Motor Vehicles	100%	100%	All AANDC vehicles are purchased through Departmental Individual Standing Offers (DISOs) managed by PWGSC, which include environmental performance considerations. AANDC’s on-road/light-duty vehicle acquisition process requires consideration of fuel consumption and justification of the requested vehicle’s size and any optional components.
Office Furniture	100%	83%	All purchases of office furniture with a total cost greater than $5,000 utilized green consolidated procurement instruments. AANDC will ensure that acquisition cardholders are aware of the required training to support green procurement policy objectives by sending an e-mail to acquisition cardholders by July 31, 2011.

Green Procurement

Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

Green Procurement Training

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
1a. Number of procurement and materiel management staff with formal green procurement training (e.g., Canada School of Public Service course C215 or an in-house, tailored alternative) relative to total number of procurement and materiel management staff	100%	100%*	Procurement and materiel management specialists at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) have either completed green procurement training over the last several years or are in the process of completing their training. As part of Purchasing and Supply (PG) mandatory training and certification programs, procurement and materiel management specialists are required to take specialized courses that have green procurement elements and strategies embedded in them. It is a standard practice within AAFC to communicate aggressively to managers and clients, the need to consider green procurement and meet departmental sustainable obligations and the environmental impact of the way it manages goods and services. * AAFC's commitment is that 100% of procurement and material management specialists will be provided with green procurement training. However, some of this training will span more than one reporting period depending on turnover, leave, and the schedule of the training provider. Therefore, for the purpose of annual reporting, we exclude employees who could not reasonably be registered for training during the reporting period.

Training for Acquisition Cardholders

Number of acquisition cardholders with formal green procurement training (e.g., Canada School of Public Service course C215 or an in-house, tailored alternative) relative to total number of acquisition cardholders.

At AAFC, full-time procurement specialists and materiel managers process the large majority of acquisition card transactions. These procurement specialists and material managers are included in the training described above. There are also many other AAFC employees who periodically use acquisition cards to handle routine purchases (office supplies, etc).

Acquisition cardholders are encouraged to adhere to best practices related to the principles of green procurement. AAFC is committed to purchasing environmentally preferred goods and services that demonstrate good fiscal stewardship such as recycled paper that has 30% post consumable products and procuring janitorial services that use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Acquisition cardholders make commodity purchases from mandatory standing offers that offer quality goods and that have mandated environmental performance considerations in the procurement decision-making process. Many of these procurement vehicles have built in clauses that promote and allows for easy payment by acquisition card.

Performance Evaluations

Number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management.

Three main procurement and materiel management functional heads were identified in fiscal year 2010-11 and were required to incorporate environmental considerations related to green procurement initiatives in their performance evaluations for fiscal year 2011-12. The key managers are the Director General of Asset Management and Capital Planning, the Director of Integrated Services and the Director of the Corporate Materiel Management Centre.

Procurement Process and Controls

Number of departmental procurement processes and controls that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of departmental procurement processes and controls that should address environmental considerations. Alternatively, departments and agencies can report on progress to improve the integration of environmental considerations in management processes and controls relative to procurement.

AAFC continues to focus on federal government greening efforts that are based on the approach that life-cycle management of assets begins with procurement. AAFC has integrated environmental performance into planning, acquisition and disposal processes. These have included the purchase of greener products that may be more energy efficient, less harmful to the environment or contain a high percentage of recycled materials.

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Performance Measures for Part B

Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments (as designated by Public Works and Government Services Canada [PWGSC]) for a specified good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Dollar value of purchases that incorporate environmental considerations for a good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service. (This performance measure applies when a green consolidated procurement instrument, as designated by PWGSC, was not used or was unavailable for the specified good or service.)

AAFC has continued to use standing offers put in place by PWGSC whose objective under the Federal Sustainability Development Strategy is to advance the protection of the environment and support sustainable development by integrating environmental performance considerations into the procurement decision-making process. These standing offers cover 10 mandatory commodities that include office supplies, devices, and copy paper and fuels, lubricants, oils and waxes. The Department promotes, and will continue to promote, the use of these standing offers where applicable.

Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Performance Measure for Part C

Total quantity of a consumable purchased (e.g., paper) or an asset owned or leased (e.g., printing devices) relative to total number of full-time equivalents (FTEs).

AAFC developed and implemented a printer rationalization strategy for offices within the National Capital Region, and has continually managed this process. The Department is currently reviewing how this strategy can be expanded as a best practice on a national basis. AAFC has identified reduction initiatives for specific goods and has strongly committed to implementing these as part of its Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy.

There were 51 new cardholders from April 1 to June 1, 2010, and 159 new cardholders from June 1, 2010, to March 31, 2011. Therefore, 159 new cardholders received the training on green procurement over 210 new cardholders.
Performance Evaluations	100%	100%	The Contracting and Assets Division (CAD) developed values and ethics to apply at the operational level. One of the values is co-operation. Co-operation is demonstrated through client service, teamwork, and the ability to balance clients' objectives and CAD regulations and practices while taking into account overriding Government objectives affecting procurement, including Aboriginal business development, sustainable development and corporate priorities.
Procurement Processes and Controls	100%	67% of funding spend under contract	The CBSA's Procurement Process Checklist includes:  using green standing offers; dealing with vendors who are environmentally responsible, e.g. those that meet the International Organization of Standardization ISO 14000; and developing and implementing environmental clauses in all contracting documents. Procurement officers at Headquarters have successfully completed the online Canada School of Public Service Green Procurement (C215) course. Increased attendance at and participation in governmental greening conferences resulted in heightened awareness of best practices related to green procurement. During Environment Week 2010, procurement staff received daily e-mails that resulted in increased awareness of greening opportunities. The Agency included green procurement training in its acquisition card training for new cardholders. The Agency initiated the inclusion of green procurement commitments in the performance management agreements of the Manager of Contracting, Manager of Fleet, Manager of the Central Total Asset Management Project and Manager of Policy. The Agency developed packaging policies aimed at reducing waste, such as returning packaging and any recyclable materials, and has included these policies in contracts when requisitioning the delivery of goods. The CBSA encouraged vendors to offer environmentally friendly products and services by including environmental requirements in the evaluation criteria.  The CBSA is developing a Centralized Total Asset Management Framework that consolidates policies and procedures; it now includes the disposal stage of the life-cycle approach. The planning, acquisition and use stages of the approach are in development. The Agency has completed the policy and guidelines for managing the disposal of surplus materiel assets such as e-waste disposal methods.

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.		CFGB will require for fiscal year 2011-12 that existing functional specialists (1) and credit card holders (3) take the CSPS Course C215 by the end of fiscal year. The Board will also require that all new functional specialist or credit card holders take the course within three months of being hired.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders
2. Performance Evaluations	Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.		In fiscal year 2011-12 the Manager of Finance and Administrative Services and the functional specialist will have an objective included in their performance management agreement to ensure environmental considerations are taken into account in all procurement activities.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.		All procurement over $500 at CFGB is to be approved by the procurement committee. In fiscal year 2011-12, the terms of reference of the committee will be reviewed to add environmental considerations in the decision making of the committee. Furthermore, for service transactions, the contract preparation form will be updated to include environmental considerations to track green procurement. CFGB continues to support the protection of the environment by having network printers set to duplex by default, by using the RDIMS to classify documents electronically therefore reducing the usage of paper and by reducing travel by using videoconferencing equipment to hold meetings with members outside NCR.

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Performance Measures for Part B

Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments (as designated by Public Works and Government Services Canada [PWGSC]) for a specified good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Dollar value of purchases that incorporate environmental considerations for a good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Office furniture, office supplies and IT equipment.	N/A		The CFGB purchases primarily involve office supplies, office furniture and IT equipment. These purchases will continue to be made through the use of PWGSC Standing Offer on products and services that provide best prices, better quality and a green procurement guarantee (e.g. recycled material, environmental performance) In FY 2010-2011, the Board virtualized all of its servers using VmWare's server virtualization technology. This project reduced our IT footprint from 15 to 3 servers bringing great financial savings as well as reducing our server power consumption by more than 50%. During the next fiscal year, we will be looking at virtualizing the Board users' desktop computers. This would once again greatly reduce power consumption as well as bring great financial savings over the long term (5-10 years). The Board continues to look for innovative ways to Green its IT and office as a whole.

Performance Evaluations	100	100	Environmental considerations in support of the Green Procurement Policy objectives formed an integral part of the yearly performance evaluation of the Manager, Procurement.
Procurement Processes and Controls	100	100	Reduce: All goods and services contracts were scanned and sent electronically to suppliers thereby reducing paper usage. All software licences including upgrades were downloaded electronically instead of using physical media. All applications for grants were submitted electronically through a secure site, thereby eliminating paper copies resulting in a decrease in paper usage. Scanning to email capacity in business centres has reduced the use of paper and some processes have changed to save information electronically rather than copying for a paper file. All printers, both in business centres and desktops print duplex, and where possible, duplex printing continues to be the default setting thus reducing the use of paper. Recycle: 78 printers, 104 computers (excluding hard drives), 59 monitors, and 23 laptops were disposed of through a computer recycling firm. Some furniture was recycled rather than disposed of. Used BlackBerry smart phones and parts, and cellular phones were disposed of through a recycling firm. CIHR continues to operate an integrated recovery program for used batteries. Employees can ensure proper disposal of used batteries by simply dropping them off at a central location within the organization. Reuse: Some furniture components were transferred to another government department for their use. Office supplies (such as plastic labels, file folders, binders, black clips, elastics, etc.) which were no longer required were recycled and sent to local schools for their use. With the space optimization project, certain furniture components such as panels and work surfaces were not used. Rather than declare them as surplus material, CIHR put these in storage to be reused when the next phase of the project takes place. Other: The purchase of green commodities continue to be captured through the use of an automated spreadsheet. Green Procurement continues to be part of CIHR's in-house procurement training program delivered to RC Managers and their staff involved in procurement activities. CIHR continues to use PWGSC Green Standing Offers to procure certain commodities such as office furniture and computer equipment.

Consumable/Asset	Target	Actual Results	Description/Comments
Paper	7% reduction (average decline over the last four years) $42.18 per FTE	Target overtaken by Federal Sustainable Development Strategy	As part of the current Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, the Department has a target of reducing average paper consumption per employee by 20% over three years. Justice Canada has chosen to implement these reductions over the 3 years beginning April 1, 2011 with the 2010-2011 fiscal year as its base year for these reductions. Our consumption for that year tracked through standing-offer paper purchases was 49,829,175 letter-size equivalent sheets. During this period, we had 4,0501 full-time-equivalent (FTE) employees. This produces a base-line of 12,304 sheets per employee. To achieve this paper reduction target, the Department has worked to improve its paper measurement and tracking mechanisms and design awareness campaigns to encourage two-sided printing and greater use of electronic formats for distribution of documents and reports.
Printers	The Department will reduce its employee-to-printer ratio as per a print strategy and baseline that is being developed Q4 of 2009-10.	Target overtaken by Federal Sustainable Development Strategy	As part of the current Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, the Department has a target ratio of 8:1 (employees : printers) by March 31, 2013. For the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the Department of Justice has inventoried 1,198 network-connected print-capable devices across the department nationally and, 358 non-network devices (e.g. copiers, fax machines, local printers) in the National Capital Region. During the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the Department has developed an enterprise print strategy aimed at reducing the overall number of printers. Phase 1 of the said strategy completed in March 2010 at the National Capital Region level. Additionally, the departmental life cycle management approach to printer replacement now requires the purchase of ENERGY STAR compliant devices. In line with the strategy, an audit was undertaken to confirm due implementation. Subsequent phases targeting regions will be taking place in the 2011-2012 fiscal year.

Paper	20% reduction by March 31, 2014	N/A	EC has had a number of best practices in place for several years, including the installation of new computers and printers to print duplex by default, as well as printer rationalization, which contributes to lower paper consumption as fewer printers are used. EC has recently compiled data on paper use and for the first time has a baseline, namely 2010–2011. This indicates that paper use per employee, at fewer than 5000 sheets per employee, is already low relative to the level of consumption found in other organizations.
Printers	8:1 average ratio of office employees to printing units by March 31, 2013	N/A	EC is introducing significant printer rationalization during each of its major office relocation/renovation projects. For one such project already completed, the employee-printer ratio is 15:1. Three other large-scale projects are underway, with others planned. These will allow us to surpass the target. It will also contribute significantly to paper use reduction.

LAC’s objectives will be to ensure continuity and retraining on green procurement for staff responsible for procurement and materiel management by integrating in their training plans the C215 online course offered by the School of Public Service.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders	30%	100%	At Library and Archives Canada, acquisition cardholders have received mandatory personalized internal training, including a chapter on green procurement. Furthermore, a green procurement checklist is available on the Department’s intranet site. We are also planning training meetings with each LAC sector with acquisition cardholders. These meetings will include a chapter on green procurement.
2. Performance Evaluations	85%	100%	Of course, the performance evaluations for staff responsible for procurement and materiel management cover the purchase of goods and services with environmental considerations, as well as the associated projects, tools and training. The performance evaluation for the manager responsible for the Contracting and Materiel Management Section includes measures for the development of green procurement strategies. These strategies will be implemented in 2011-2012. The performance evaluations for senior contracts officers in 2011-2012 will have to include goals with environmental considerations.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	39%	100%	The use of Public Works and Government Services Canada mandatory standing offers for green products and services is highly recommended within the Department. The use of recycled and remanufactured products and the remanufacturing of current furnishings and equipment is always considered in the planning of goods acquisitions. The disposal of goods within Library and Archives Canada has a process in place for the disposal of surplus goods so that they may be reused to minimize environmental impacts. Several processes will be implemented to achieve the 2011-2012 objectives: With a view to supporting sustainable development goals, LAC has introduced mandatory double-sided printing for all its network printers. A policy on office printers is implemented to reduce the number of printers with a view to reducing the power consumption, electronic waste, office pollution and paper consumption. Managers at Library and Archives Canada will have to fill out a service request form in which the environmental aspect must be taken into account. A checklist has to be filled out by each buyer for procurement and tender calls to ensure that environmental considerations are part of the planning and procurement process. Quality control measures will also be implemented to ensure environmental considerations were taken into account in the procurement process. All contracts and tenders call templates will be revised to include or reinforce the integration of environmental considerations.

Cell phones and Blackberries	25%	75%	Where feasible, Library and Archives Canada employees will be equipped with a cell phone or blackberry instead of a landline phone thus reducing the number of telephones used.
Batteries,cell phones, compact fluorescent bulbs, ink cartridges	Information not available	750 to 1,000 pounds of batteries 30 to 50 compact fluorescent bulbs 300 to 400 cartridges (MIRA)	A battery, cell phone and compact fluorescent recycling initiative was implemented at LAC in June 2008 in three buildings of the National Capital Region. This initiative aimed to reduce the impact of these toxic materials on the environment by recycling them. Ink cartridges are either returned to the manufacturer for re-use or sent to the (MIRA Foundation).
Paper shredding	Data incomplete 4,108 metric tonnes for 4 out of 8 centres	The tonnage of paper shredded is directly dependent on the client departments. Accordingly, we cannot provide specific goals for 2011-2012. We can however, confirm that based on the document retention standard, 100% of the paper was shredded. We can also foresee that the quantities of paper sent to our centres will decrease according to the new records storage model.	A paper shredding initiative has been in place for a number of years at Library and Archives Canada’s regional service centres. There is also a shredding program at one of the National Capital Region buildings available to all federal departments.
Organic waste	Information not available	55% reduction for Place de la Cité 70% to 80% reduction with phase II for Place de la Cité	A composting initiative for the paper towels used in the Place de la Cité building was implemented early 2010. A study showed that paper towels constituted 41% of the building’s total waste and that organic waste accounted for another 29%. Phase II of the composting of organic waste project is still under examination. If the project proves successful, the composting initiative could be implemented in other LAC buildings.
Fuel reduction	Measure does not apply	The performance of this initiative will be confirmed through the expense report.	LAC staff have access to a “taxi” schedule for sharing taxis. This makes it possible to reduce not only Departmental expenses, but also the fuel consumption. It also contributes to reducing greenhouse gasses.
Construction	Measure does not apply	Measure does not apply	Library and Archives Canada has opted for the construction of a green building with a longer service life to store nitrate collections. Energy expenditures are minimized because the green roof will provide better insulation for the building. The materials used for the building’s construction are produced locally and some are composed of recycled materials, thus reducing the environmental impact.

			The Department has promoted the use of PWGSC’s Green Procurement Tools and use of procurement instruments (i.e. Standing Offer Agreements). Chaired by PWGSC/OGGO, Defence participates in the Commodity Management Working Groups which are comprised of various federal departments. During the evaluation of the Goods & Services Standing Offer Agreements (SOAs), materiel is reviewed for having environmentally-friendly attributes.  The Department is an active participant in the PWGSC-chaired Commodity Working Group. Due to the volume of materiel/services utilised, this promotes reviews of materiel/services common to & used by other federal departments. Defence is in the midst of transitioning to one core system for procurement, materiel management and finance and due to the volume and methods of procurement, the level of detail is not available. In the past strategic review, Defence incorporated environmental considerations into the day to day activities, projects and programs and therefore, it would be extremely complicated and difficult to extract specific dollar value line items that incorporate environmental considerations.

Various consumables and assets	N/A	N/A	Following an extensive spend analysis and planning for reduction purposes, NRC launched various reduction initiatives for commodities in 2010-11: E85 fuel continues to be used where possible to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The NRC Industrial Materials Institute (London) office purchased a Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle which is used by staff for travel purposes. A green IT program to improve environmental sustainability in IT operations by reducing energy consumption, physical space usage, greenhouse gas emissions, e-waste and increase system and product lifespan has been introduced in Vancouver at the NRC Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation. A travel register has been incorporated to allow for multiple employees to share a vehicle for travel purposes between Charlottetown and Halifax by the NRC Institute for Marine Biosciences in Halifax. Video conferencing equipment has been installed at the NRC Industrial Material Institute locations in London, Concord, Boucherville and Ottawa, aimed at reducing travel costs and energy savings. NRC installed high efficiency lighting in growth rooms in Saskatoon, resulting in $27K annual savings. As a result of the green procurement update capability in SAP (SIGMA), procurement officers are required to capture green procurement purchase activity which in turn enables NRC to report on these purchases. A checklist is currently being developed to aid procurement staff in determining and identifying where opportunities may exist. Internal Policies are being reviewed to integrate environmental considerations in the performance of the work where possible or required. The stores facilities in the National Capital Region (NCR) endeavour to increase eco-friendly stock items for easy access by end users. A waste audit conducted in the NCR resulted in the introduction of a new program being implemented aimed at increasing NRC's recyclable waste from 16% to 23% by 2013.

Printing devices	1 : 3 (i.e. the ratio of printers to employees is one to three)	1 : 3	Printing unit figures were determined using a combination of methods including: Web Jet Admin tool, LANDesk network discovery, procurement and physical inventory. Although building occupancy levels and security considerations are factors, space configuration is perhaps the largest challenge in the distribution of printing units at NRCan. Many of the work areas are lab environments located in older buildings with accessibility issues. The number of employees was determined via PeopleSoft and the NRCan Directory of People and Services (DPS). Roles and responsibilities: The Shared Services Office’s Information and Technology Services is the division responsible for printer distribution and have begun the process of printer consolidation. Although printer placement is determined on a case by case basis, some of the strategies for reduction are the increased use of multifunction printers and the decreased use of personal (local) printers. Although the reduction of printers does not necessarily mean a reduction of printing, it has been estimated that a goal of an 8 : 1 ratio will still reduce power consumption by 25% and significantly decrease the amount of e-waste produced.

Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada

Green Procurement

NSERC is in the initial phase of establishing formal green procurement targets and initiatives. In the meantime NSERC is ensuring compliancy with the Policy on Green Procurement by applying the Green Procurement Principles when acquiring goods and services by utilizing PWGSC’s mandatory “green” procurement tools whenever viable. (I.e. Standing Offers). NSERC makes concerted efforts to consider environmentally friendly products in its procurement processes, in best effort to reduce our carbon footprint.

In the coming year, targets and procedural policies will be established. An in depth review will be done throughout the department as part of the engagement activities in the context of the Policy implementation. This review will be a consultative approach to review staff training, acquisition card programs, multi-functional printer utilization and efficiency and will also identify commodity areas that will form the basis of an initial round of target-setting.

Environmental performance considerations will be embedded into the procurement methodology process whenever viable, taking into consideration best-value, performance, quality and availability. The objective is to make green procurement practices a seamless and integral part of both NSERC and the federal government's best practices.

Even though it has not yet established green procurement targets, NSERC continues its contribution to the protection of the environment by using green procurement standing offers whenever possible, buying high-content recycled paper, and recycling spent batteries as well as empty toner cartridges used in office printers. Other initiatives include documentation on an intranet site rather than printing multiple copies for internal distribution.

Researching further opportunities for green procurement is a continuous process for NSERC.

When disposal is necessary, NSERC uses approved companies in the provincial e-cycling program.

Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada

Green Procurement

The Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying (OCL) has made some progress towards integrating environmental performance considerations into its procurement decision-making processes.

In 2010-2011, the OCL's employee whose responsibilities include procurement and material management completed formal green procurement training online with the Canada School of Public Service.

Even though OCL has not yet established green procurement targets, it is contributing to the protection of the environment by using green procurement instruments whenever possible, buying high-content recycled paper, purchasing rechargeable batteries as well as recycling spent batteries and empty toner cartridges used in office printers.

Other initiatives include printing the OCL's annual report and investigation reports on 100% recycled paper, double-sided printing of documents whenever possible, circulating documents of interest and/or making them available on a shared computer drive rather than printing multiple copies for internal distribution, and using the OCL's website as the preferred means for public distribution of information and corporate publications.

Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

OCOL is contributing to the protection of the environment within its procurement activities by taking into account environmental considerations. While OCOL has not yet established its own specific green procurement targets, it relies on established PWGSC Standing Offer arrangements for the acquisition of a large majority of its goods and services. 

Initiatives include, but are not restricted to, the following:

• Buying high-content recycled paper, which is used for all in-house printing activities
• Recycling toner cartridges used in office printers
• Reducing the number of replacement printers
• Ensuring new printers have print duplex settings
• Ensuring photocopiers are identified as network printers
• Replacing servers with models that require less energy and produce less heat
• Use of a hybrid vehicle

Meeting Policy Requirements
1. Has the department incorporated environmental performance considerations in its procurement decision-making processes? Yes
2. Summary of initiatives to incorporate environmental performance considerations in procurement decision-making processes: 1. The Parks Canada Light Fleet Vehicle Management Directive (2010) establishes a process that requires Director General approval of light fleet vehicles that do not meet predetermined environmental criteria. 2. The Parks Canada Environmental Management Directive (2009) establishes three Green Procurement goals relating to life cycle management, to procure from the PWGSC Green Standing Offers and that procurement staff complete the online green procurement training course.
3. Results achieved: A review of overall results is underway, specifically we are able to confirm the following: 1. A greater proportion of vehicles procured meet the predetermined environmental criteria. 2. Procurement staff is being encouraged to complete the online Green Procurement course offered by the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS). Green procurement clauses have also been added as standard for all service contracts.
4. Contributions to facilitate government-wide implementation of green procurement: Parks Canada continues to use Standing Offers and other procurement tools that encourage green procurement practices. Parks Canada has participated and will continue to participate in Green Procurement Forums and Working Groups.

Green Procurement Targets

In addition to providing recommendations to employees on ways to go "green" within their office environment, the policy identified corporate "greening" initiatives that took effect immediately upon release of the new policy. For the PSC, these initiatives include the recommended use of refillable/remanufactured cartridges for all printers and photocopiers, the return of used cartridges for recycling, the purchase and use of recycled paper products as well as the reduction of paper use through the setting of printer defaults to duplexing (double-sided) The PSC has implemented several initiatives to address environmental issues associated with the procurement of goods and services: All of the PSC's solicitation documents include the following clause regarding green procurement and services: Green Procurement and Services: “The contractor should make every effort to ensure that all documents prepared or delivered are printed double-sided on Ecology certified recycled paper or on paper with equivalent post-consumer recycled content to the full extent to which it is procurable"; The PSC only provides electronic references of its General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions and Terms of Payment in all of its solicitation documents; In the future, the PSC will only provide electronic references of its General Conditions for contractual agreements. This will reduce the document size from approximately 20 pages to approximately 8 pages; All of the PSC's contractual documents are printed double-sided; Whenever possible, the PSC posts its solicitation documents on-line (MERX); Even though the PSC has significantly reduced the number of printers in use and continues to do so, it has initiated a review of its photocopier fleet with intent to optimize it with regards to usage and to identify potential redundancies (especially considering the move to Gatineau in 2013); The PSC  participates in the Green Procurement Forum; and The PSC purchases most of its goods using standing offers established by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) that relate to green products/services. The PSC continues to address green procurement through its internal investment planning processes and has met the initiatives outlined in the 2010-2011 RPP: The PSC has identified a Green Procurement Representative; The PSC has identified an Associate Deputy Minister-level environment champion; The PSC continues to make use of Request for Volume Discount for information technology (IT) equipment with PWGSC; The PSC has put in place a Hardware Evergreen Plan; and The PSC continues to dispose of all PSC IT equipment no longer in use through the “Computers for Schools” Program or the PWGSC “E-Waste” Program

In order to increase compliance, a new method for tracking employees who require formal green procurement has been adopted.
Training for Acquisition Cardholders	100%	0%	Acquisition card training materials are in the process of being revised. Once completed, all new acquisition cardholders will receive this training. Due to resource constraints and competing priorities, the expected progress in the area of green procurement training for all new acquisition cardholders during fiscal year 2010-11 was not met. The RCMP’s Procurement and Contracting Branch is currently consulting with Finance branch in order to update the acquisition card training material to include green procurement considerations. The acquisition card training is mandatory and is provided to all new cardholders.
Performance Evaluations	100%	0%	Although environmental considerations were not directly reflected on the performance evaluations and functional heads, managers did achieve their objectives related to formal green procurement training for procurement and materiel management staff, the use of consolidated procurement instruments, and a reduction initiative for specific goods. Efforts are being made for future years to incorporate environmental considerations in the performance evaluations of procurement directors.
Procurement Processes and Controls	30%		In February 2009, the RCMP established a Green Procurement Working Group whose mandate included examining and developing appropriate processes and controls. In fiscal year 2010-11, the main members of the Green Procurement Working Group moved on to other positions and, as a result, the progress being made on some of the groups’ initiatives was stalled. In 2011-12, the working group will be re-established with the goal of implementing initiatives that were previously proposed, as well as moving forward with new ideas to "green" RCMP business. For instance, the RCMP is exploring the possibility of adding additional reporting fields to its integrated financial management system to better track and report on green procurement initiatives. Results achieved to date include: all computers, printers, copiers, and scanners purchased or leased have Energy Star approval a number of Procurement Officers attended various information sessions held by PWGSC which were designed to increase awareness for green procurement considerations and tools available to promote green procurement all solicitation and contract templates include a clause encouraging suppliers to employ a number of environmental considerations when preparing their bid proposals the majority of requisitions being sent to PWGSC and copies of contracts sent to suppliers and clients are being sent via email as opposed to fax, which cuts down on the amount of paper and ink used training material provided to Unit Commanders now includes an element for green procurement considerations where available, green consolidated procurement instruments are used

Green Procurement

SSHRC made concerted efforts to consider environmentally friendly products in its procurement processes, and to reduce its carbon footprint. In 2010-11, SSHRC entered into the initial phase of establishing formal green procurement targets and initiatives. In the meantime, SSHRC has ensured compliance with the Policy on Green Procurement by applying the policy’s green procurement principles, including using Public Works and Government Services Canada’s (PWGSC) mandatory green procurement tools whenever viable (i.e., for standing offers) in acquiring goods and services.

In the coming year, SSHRC will establish green procurement targets and procedural policies. An in-depth review will be performed throughout the organization as part of engagement activities related to policy implementation. Through this consultative approach, SSHRC will review staff training, acquisition card programs, multifunctional printer use and efficiency, and will identify commodity areas that will form the basis of an initial round of target-setting.

Environmental performance considerations will be embedded into the procurement methodology and process whenever viable, taking into consideration best value, performance, quality and availability. The objective is to make green procurement practices a seamless and integral part of SSHRC’s best practices.

SSHRC has also continued to contribute to the protection of the environment by using green procurement standing offers whenever possible, buying high-content recycled paper, and recycling spent batteries as well as empty toner cartridges used in office printers. Other initiatives include posting documentation on an intranet site rather than printing multiple copies for internal distribution.

SSHRC also continues to research further opportunities for green procurement as part of a continuous process.

Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	-	-	All procurement personnel will complete the Green Procurement course (C215) in 2011-12.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders	-	-	In-house alternative training will be developed in 2011-12 and will be delivered to acquisition cardholders in 2012-13. Training will be provided on an ongoing basis as new acquisition cards are issued to employees.
2. Performance Evaluations	-	-	SSHRC will identify key managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management, and will ensure that environmental considerations related to green procurement initiatives are incorporated into their performance objectives for 2011-12.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	-	-	SSHRC will review its materiel management and procurement procedures, and will review system specifications and capability in order to provide hard data for use in tracking, monitoring and reporting on green procurement targets and initiatives in line with Government of Canada directives.

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Good/Service	Target as %	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Office Supplies	-	-	SSHRC will increase its use of PWGSC standing offers to procure green items. Benchmarks will be established in 2011-12.
Computers/Laptops	-	-	Desktops and laptops are purchased using a standing offer call-up.

Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Consumable/Asset	Target as % Reduction or # per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE)	Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE	Description/Comments
Office Supplies	-	-	Functional office supplies are re-used as offices are vacated. Employees are strongly encouraged to select from these items at a self-serve store. When possible, SSHRC purchases recycled paper notebooks for use by FTEs. SSHRC capitalizes on available opportunities to purchase goods that represent best value and are also beneficial to the environment.
Office Furniture	-	-	Surplus furniture resulting from vacated offices is retrofitted, inventoried, stored and re-issued. When determining value for money, SSHRC considers the life cycle costs of assets rather than focusing only on upfront acquisition costs.
Batteries	-	-	SSHRC has integrated a recovery program for used batteries into its operations.
Paper	-	-	SSHRC reduced its paper consumption by effectively using computers and other technology. The implementation of online submission of applications for some of SSHRC’s funding opportunities has translated into a 28 per cent savings in printing costs. In addition, all office printing equipment has been set to default to double–sided printing, and the paper used contains recycled fibres. SSHRC’s letterhead paper contains vegetable-based inks with environmentally friendly varnishes that are a part of the Eco Mark program.
Printing Cartridges	-	-	SSHRC continues to adhere to the toner cartridge recycling program.
Paper Agendas, Calendars and Planners	-	-	SSHRC has been promoting the use of electronic tools or software such as Microsoft Outlook instead of paper agendas, planners and calendars. When possible, SSHRC purchases recycled paper notebooks for use by FTEs.
Computers	-	-	Computers are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, with a strong preference for reuse through initiatives such as the Computers for Schools program and by using PWGSC’s Crown Assets Distribution auction site. When disposal is necessary, SSHRC uses approved companies from the provincial e-cycling program.

1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	No Target	N/A	Currently, only designated material and contracting specialists have taken the online Green Procurement Course that is available through CampusDirect. The department investigated how best to encourage other buyers, that is, those with low-dollar-value procurement authority, to take the course. It was determined that the department could best achieve this goal through the new centralized low-dollar-value procurement unit that was in the planning stages. The new unit is now in operation and discussions have taken place with respect to green training of employees working there.
