Green Procurement

Green Procurement Capacity Building

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	95%	93%	Efforts are consistently being made to have existing procurement and material management staff and all new staff trained. 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

Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Good/Service	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
IT Hardware	50%	51%	The RCMP was successful in meeting targets related to the use of green consolidated procurement instruments. For future years, 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.
Office Furniture	15%	33%
Passenger motor vehicles	70%	83%

Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Consumable/Asset	Target as % Reduction or # per FTE	Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE	Description/Comments
Percentage of E10 blended fuel purchased by the RCMP	7%	7%	The RCMP was successful in reaching its target related to E10 blended fuel purchases. For comparative purposes, the E10 percentage to overall fuel purchased in 2009-10 was 4.5%. Moving forward, the RCMP will focus on procuring hybrid vehicles and/or vehicles with the best in-class fuel efficiency to reduce the total amount of fuel purchased.
