Green Procurement

**Table 10-A Green procurement—capacity-building**
Activity	Target as Percentage (as reported in 2010-11 RPP)	Actual Results as Percentage	Description/Comments
Training for procurement and materiel management staff	100	100	New procurement and materiel management staff are to receive formal green procurement training as part of their learning and development plan.
Training for acquisition cardholders	Benchmark year	5	The green procurement training taken by procurement and materiel management staff is offered to over 100 acquisition cardholders across the agency.
Performance evaluations	100	Data not yet available	Green procurement performance clauses have not yet been added to the performance evaluations of Contracting and Materiel Management employees because there is no automated way to track outputs. This is being addressed through adoption of Public Works and Government Services Canada tools.
Procurement processes and controls	Target yet to be established	Data not yet available	Statistics Canada is currently reviewing procurement processes and controls. Part of this task is to add environmental performance considerations.

**Table 10-B Green procurement—use of green consolidated procurement instruments**
Good/Service	Target as Percentage (as reported in 2010-11 RPP)	Actual Results as Percentage	Description/Comments
All green consolidated procurement instruments	2012-13 to be benchmark year	Data not yet available	The Automated Materiel Management Information System has recently started accepting green procurement as part of its coding block. This, together with migration to the Common Departmental Financial System, will enable Statistics Canada to do a benchmark year in 2012-13.

**Table 10-C Green procurement—reduction initiatives for specific goods**
Good/Service	Target as Percentage (as reported in 2010-11 RPP)	Actual Results as Percentage	Description/Comments
Office supplies	Benchmark year	Data not yet available	Except for regional operations, it is now mandatory for all office supply purchases to be made through the Statistics Canada store.
Printers	Benchmark year	1.7 full-time equivalents per printer	Plans are underway to centralize the control of Statistics Canada's printers and photocopiers. This initiative will have a significant positive impact, resulting in fewer printers and photocopiers and an increased percentage of 'green' supplies for these machines.
Photocopy paper	Benchmark year	3,920 sheets per full-time equivalent	Paper consumption is expected to rise in 2010-11 because of the Census of Population and the Census of Agriculture. The increase is somewhat offset by paper reduction initiatives now in place.
