Targeted GHG emission sources: Fleet only.
Additional performance indicators, key emissions reductions strategies, implementation plan, opportunities for continuous improvement:
Fleet modernization: A lowering of existing vehicle life cycle retention parameters will further improve upon fuel efficiency, while reducing overall costs. Newer model vehicles are cleaner to operate due to advancements in vehicle technologies.
Acquiring new technology vehicles: plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles are forecast for production in 2011/12. NRCan is committed to being the first department to introduce these types of advanced vehicle classes into its vehicle fleet.
Expanding a vehicle pooling model across the department: NRCan will continue to look for opportunities to open up its vehicle fleet to a wider population of employees through the implementation of Vehicle Pools, thereby helping to further reduce the overall size of its vehicle inventory.Performance Measure | RPP | DPR | |

Definition of location: comprises asset management facilities in NCR and regions (16 facilities)
NRCan has ensured that our department is following all the requirements provided in the Treasury Board Directive on Disposal of Surplus Materiel, and elaborated on in section 3.4 of the TBS Guide to Management of Materiel.
Currently, NRCan disposes of surplus E-Waste via the three following mechanisms:
1. Computers for Schools [Industry Canada] (30%)
2. Crown Assets Distribution Directorate [PWGSC] (20%)
3. Provincial Extended Producer Responsibility Programs (in select locations) (40%)
We are developing a Departmental E-Waste Plan, to be implemented by summer 2011. As part of this Plan, we will triage our departmental e-waste and also leverage a fourth disposal mechanism:
4. Departmental Individual Standing Offer (DISO*) for E-waste Recycling [PWGSC] (10%)
* For equipment that does not qualify for mechanisms No. 1–3Performance Measure | RPP | DPR | |

Strategies / Comments
The printing unit figures were determined using a combination of methods including: Web Jet Admin tool, LANDesk network discovery, procurement and physical inventory.
Although building occupancy levels, and security considerations are factors, space configurations is perhaps the largest challenge in the distribution of printing units here at NRCan. Many of the work areas are lab environments located in older buildings with accessibility issues.
The number of employees was determined via PeopleSoft and our Directory of People and Services (DPS).
Roles and responsibilities: SSO ITS is the division responsible for printer distribution and are about to begin the process of printer consolidation.
Although printer placement will be determined on a case by case basis, some of the strategies for reduction will be the increased use of multifunction printers and the decreased use of personal (local) printers.Performance Measure | RPP | DPR | |

Dollar value of vehicles that meet the target relative to total dollar value of all vehicles in the Department.
Number of vehicles that meet the target relative to total number of all vehicles in the Department.
Exclusions may include executive vehicles.
This target requires that criteria to identify when a vehicle is right-sized are defined.
It requires the availability of inventory counts / assets management data for reporting, but does not require the availability of procurement data.
Consideration must be taken when setting the percentage for the target to ensure that vehicles will not need to be prematurely disposed of to meet the target.Performance Measure | RPP | DPR |

Last year's Desktop RVD was categorized as "Gold" by EPEAT and Energy Star.
We are striving to continue this trend with this year's and all future desktop RVD's. Based on a 4 year life cycle, at the completion of the 4 years all desktops will be
"Environmentally preferred" models. Although we can't comment on specific server hardware, we are making great strides with server consolidation.

We currently recycle 100 % of all toners and will continue to do so. However given the diversity of our printing environment, the various regions, and number of suppliers, our credit service is minimal. Several companies will recycle toners (even from other suppliers) as a service but do not offer credit for it.8.11 As of April 1, 2011, each department will establish SMART targets for training, employee performance evaluations, and management processes and controls, as they pertain to procurement decision-making.

2 Assessment tools include: BOMA BESt, Green Globes or equivalent.
3 Assessment tools include: BOMA BESt, an appropriately tailored BOMA International Green Lease Standard, or equivalent.
4 This would be demonstrated by achieving LEED CI Silver, Green Globes Fit-Up 3 Globes, or equivalent.
5 Alternatively, departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act (FSDA) can follow the approach required of FSDA departments for green procurement by setting and reporting on green procurement targets as specified in the "Green Procurement Targets" section in the above table.
