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.

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. 1–3 

8.7 By March 31, 2013, each department will achieve an 8:1 average ratio of office employees to printing units. Departments will apply target where building occupancy levels, security considerations, and space configuration allow.

	FY 2012–13	8:1
	FY 2013–14	10:1

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.

Although the reduction of printers does not necessarily mean a reduction of printing, it has been estimated that a goal of a 6:1 ratio will still reduce power consumption by 25% and obviously decrease our amount of ewaste significantly. 

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.

Strategies / Comments

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.

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.

And virtualization is allowing us to set optimistic greening targets.

Strategies / Comments

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.

Why this self selected green procurement training target is SMART:

1. Specific: Refers to specific nature/type of training and target audience
2. Measurable: Information is available from regional procurement personnel (HR-related) files (An electronic certificate is issued upon completion of the training.)
3. Achievable: Training is “learner friendly”: easily accessible, i.e. online (24/7).
4. Relevant: In-house training used: Canada School of Public Service course on Green Procurement (C215)
5. Time-bound: Date established for target completion, i.e. 100% (March 31, 2014)
   

Other reporting considerations:
The Green Procurement training implementation experience in NCR will be used as a model to follow for implementation of such training in regions.

As part of the NRCan Regional Organization Review, a “procurement” Regional Functional Working Group has been established, with a Procurement Regional Functional Head as the lead. The Regional Functional Head will be responsible for tracking progress against the green procurement training target.

Strategies / Comments

Why this self selected green procurement performance evaluation target is SMART:

1. Specific: Refers to specific positions (non manager and non functional head personnel) and functional area (procurement)
2. Measurable: information is available from our procurement module (e.g. for service transactions valued at >$5K a mandatory checklist which includes environmental considerations is completed by the RC Manager)
3. Achievable: Contribution of and support for green procurement policy objectives will be reviewed as part of annual evaluations (Performance Feedback Reports).
4. Relevant: Environmental considerations may be applied to all procurement requests (albeit to varying degrees* and subject to client specifications).
   * e.g. to a lesser extent with services than goods
5. Time-bound: Date established for target completion, i.e. 100% (March 31, 2014)

Why this self selected green procurement Management processes and controls target is SMART:

1. Specific: Refers to specific initiative (Wireless Services consolidation) and functional area (procurement)
2. Measurable: information is available from our procurement module
3. Achievable: Pilot phase (CMSS and another Sector) was successfully completed in 2009–10. Full departmental rollout had already begun as of April 2010.
4. Relevant: Decrease in the number of acquisition cards being used only for wireless services procurements/acquisitions (leads to a more efficient use management of the acquisition card.)
5. Time-bound: Date established for target completion, i.e. 100% (March 31, 2014)
