Greening Government Operations (GGO)

Overview

The GGO 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.

NOTE: Tables 8.1 to 8.4 are included in PWSGC’s Report on Plans and Priorities and are therefore not included here.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Target


8.5 The federal government will take action now to reduce levels of greenhouse gas emissions from its operations to match the national target of 17% below 2005 by 2020.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Departmental Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction target: Percentage of absolute reduction in GHG emissions by fiscal year 2020–21, relative to fiscal year 2005–06. 17%  
Departmental GHG emissions in fiscal year 2005–06, in kilotonnes of (CO2) equivalent. 1.047 kilotonnes CO2 equivalent  
Departmental GHG emissions in the given fiscal year, in kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent. FY 2011–12 1.037 kilotonnes CO2 equivalent  
Percent change in departmental GHG emissions from fiscal year 2005–2006 to the end of the given fiscal year. FY 2011–12 1% reduction  

Strategies / Comments

  1. Given the age of the current fleet and the amount of funding provided, HRSDC is limited to purchasing leadership vehicles (leadership vehicles refers to those vehicles that significantly reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and/or regulated emissions) in order to meet health and safety needs which takes precedence.
  2. HRSDC is currently evaluating opportunities to optimize fleet (i.e. size, utilization, etc.). Results of the evaluation will determine if the number of vehicles will decrease or increase based on departmental operational needs and funding. This may have an impact on the reduction of greenhouse gases.
  3. All fleet vehicles will be considered with respect to this target.

This analysis will allow HRSDC to develop an implementation strategy for this target.

Paper Consumption Target


8.8 By March 31, 2014, each department will reduce internal paper consumption per office employee by 20%. Each department will establish a baseline between 2005–2006 and 2011–2012, and applicable scope.
