Green Procurement
Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments
OCOL is contributing to the protection of the environment within its procurement activities by taking into account environmental considerations. While OCOL has not yet established its own specific green procurement targets, it relies on established PWGSC Standing Offer arrangements for the acquisition of a large majority of its goods and services.
Initiatives include, but are not restricted to, the following:
- Buying high-content recycled paper, which is used for all in-house printing activities
- Recycling toner cartridges used in office printers
- Reducing the number of replacement printers
- Ensuring new printers have print duplex settings
- Ensuring photocopiers are identified as network printers
- Replacing servers with models that require less energy and produce less heat
- Use of a hybrid vehicle
