Greening Government Operations

Overview

The Greening Government Operations supplementary table applies to departments and agencies bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act, the Policy on Green Procurement, or the Policy Framework for Offsetting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Major International Events.

Please note:

  • RPP refers to Reports on Plans and Priorities and represents planned / expected results.
  • DPR refers to Departmental Performance Reports and represents actual results.

Green Procurement Reporting For Departments and Agencies Not Bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act


Mandatory reporting on meeting the requirements of Section 7 of the Policy on Green Procurement, as applicable to departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act, should be reported here1.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Policy Implementation Status (Optional) Status will assessed in the 2011-12 DPR

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.



Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations

All upcoming Internal Audits

The CGC's Internal Audit activity was in its first year of operation in 2010-2011.

During 2011 – 2012, a risk-based Evaluation Plan will be developed and posted on the CGC website.

2 2010-2011 forecasted revenue is based on the forecasted fee revenue generated from handling of 53.3 million tonnes of grain.

3 2011-2012 planned revenue differs from Main Estimates because planned revenue includes projected revenue earned through fees of approximately $37.18 million based on forecasted fee revenues from handling 50.0 million tonnes of grain. Main Estimates reflects the authority limit of respendable revenue for 2011-2012 of $42.88 million. The CGC has authority to respend all but $0.12 million of its revenue earned which is reflected in 2011-2012 planned spending ($37.06 million).
