Green Procurement
The Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying (OCL) has continued to make progress towards integrating environmental performance considerations into its procurement decision-making processes.
The OCL is contributing to protection of the environment by using green procurement standing offers whenever possible, buying high-content recycled paper, and recycling dead batteries as well as empty toner cartridges used in office printers. Also, an initiative was implemented within the past year which consists of purchasing rechargeable batteries.
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.
In 2010-11, the OCL will offer training to its materiel management and procurement staff as well as the acquisition cardholders in government-wide green procurement. The OCL will also develop a process to track green procurement in order to report its spending and set realistic targets for future years.
