Greening Government Operations (GGO)
Departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act must complete mandatory reporting on meeting the requirements of Section 7 of the Policy on Green Procurement using this section.
Strategies / Comments
- Approach: The Centre's approach to implementing green procurement is to target the use of PWGSC procurement instruments, the delivery of training to key personnel and the inclusion of green procurement objectives in the employee performance evaluations of key decision makers.
-
Management Processes and Controls: The following management processes and controls were selected through an analysis of the Centre's decision-making processes and controls.
The Centre uses PWGSC procurement instruments as its primary procurement mechanism and leverages the environmental considerations incorporated into these standing offers by PWGSC. Furthermore:- In 2012-13, the Centre's procurement policies will be reviewed to ensure environmental considerations are integrated;
- Since 2010-11, the Federal Electronic Waste Strategy is followed by the Department for electronic and electrical equipment.
-
Setting Targets: In addition to commitments identified in ii., iv., and v., the Centre has the following target:
- Ensure that 90% of all purchases are made through PWGSC consolidated procurement instruments, where available and in consideration of the Centre's security requirements.
- Training: The Centre will ensure that all existing procurement specialist staff 1 take the CSPS course C215 by the end of the fiscal year. The Centre will also require that all new functional specialist staff take CSPS course C215 within a year of being hired.
- Performance Evaluations: This fiscal year the Centre will ensure that an objective to take environmental considerations into account for all procurement activities is included in the performance management agreement of the Procurement team lead.
Meeting Targets: The Department will report against these targets in the Departmental Performance Report.
