The first option considered for the procurement of all IM/IT assets are PWGSC developed standing offers and supply arrangements, which contain green provisions. The IM/IT contracting division has developed and successfully implemented an E-waste disposal strategy that incorporates the latest Crown assets disposal policies. Assets are always
disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, mainly through the national Computers for Schools program and the Crown asset disposal auction site. DFAIT uses companies approved by the provincial recycling program. Materiel management processes for the entire asset lifecycle, as detailed in the Mission Materiel Management Manual, contain guidelines with respect to environmental and
green requirements to be followed by DFAIT missions abroad. |

The targets for these indicators were not correctly defined in DFAIT's 2010-2011 Report on Plans and Priorities. As a result, baseline was not collected. The Policy on Printing and Scanning Devices and its related implementation plan, including baseline information, is currently under review for approval by senior DFAIT management.
