Green Procurement

Targets / Strategies / Comments

  1. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff - The PSLRB Procurement and Materiel Management staff will complete the Green Procurement course (C215) offered by the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) during fiscal year 2012-13.
  2. Training for Acquisition Cardholders - The online Green Procurement course (C215) offered by the CSPS will be a mandatory course for designated acquisition cardholders as part of their 2012-13 training plan.
  3. Performance Evaluations - Environmental considerations will be included in the evaluations of designated managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management.
  4. Procurement Processes and Controls - The PSLRB has mandated the functional head of procurement to address all aspects of the Policy on Green Procurement. An internal committee will meet quarterly to establish management processes and controls to identify environmental risks and mitigation considerations.
  5. Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments - The PSLRB purchases primarily involve office supplies, office furniture and IT equipment. These purchases are made through the Public Works and Government Services Canada Standing Offer on products and services that provide best prices, better quality and a green procurement guarantee (e.g., recycled material, environmental performance). In 2012-13, the PSLRB will track and report on the use of green consolidated procurement instruments and purchases that include environmental considerations.
  6. Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods - In 2012-13, the PSLRB will assess possible reduction initiatives for specific goods.
