Table 2: Green Procurement
How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement?
NRC will continue to implement a number of initiatives within its operations and facilities to integrate environmental performance considerations into the procurement decision-making process. In 2009-10, NRC plans to:
- Complete the implementation of the Green Procurement Policy, educate Procurement Officers and NRC end-users, and produce statistics on green procurements.
- Use PWGSC Standing Offers to procure “green” items
- Complete review of stores items and assess possibility of converting to more “green” items.
- Move from traditional offset printing to digital laser printing
- Obtain FSC certification (Forest Stewardship Council) of NRC’s reprographic section.
