Targets and Strategies

  1. Approach: Investigating and incorporating opportunities for green procurement continues to be an ongoing process at the CGC. The CGC’s Chief Financial Officer is responsible for addressing all aspects of the Policy on Green Procurement.
  2. Management Processes and Controls: The CGC follows the procurement process established by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). Internal strategies for green procurement related to printers and printer maintenance, asset management, and green procurement training were adopted in April, 2010.
  3. Setting Targets: The CGC’s green procurement targets are consistent with the overall objectives of value for money in procurement. The following targets have been established:
    1. Reduce the total number of printers by April, 2015 to increase the ratio of printers to FTEs from 1:1.5 to 1:5
    2. Replace obsolete printers with duplex printers (currently of the 420 printers, 104 are duplex)
    3. Achieve a 2% reduction in paper usage by making double sided printing mandatory at CGC Headquarters
  4. Meeting Targets: To be assessed in the 2011-12 DPR
  5. Training: All existing CGC functional specialist staff will take CSPS Course C215 or be provided with in-house training/information sessions by the end of the fiscal year. All new functional specialist staff will take CSPS Course C215 or be provided with in-house training/information sessions within three months of being hired.
  6. Performance Evaluation: The Head, Procurement, Contracting, and Materiel Management has an objective included in his performance management agreement to ensure environmental considerations are taken into account in all procurement activities.


Notes:

  • 1 Alternatively, departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act can follow the approach required of Federal Sustainable Development Act departments for green procurement by setting and reporting on green procurement targets as specified in the "Green Procurement Targets" section in the above table.
