Activity Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) Actual Results as % Description/Comments
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.   CFGB will require for fiscal year 2011-12 that existing functional specialists (1) and credit card holders (3) take the CSPS Course C215 by the end of fiscal year. The Board will also require that all new functional specialist or credit card holders take the course within three months of being hired.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders  
2. Performance Evaluations Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.   In fiscal year 2011-12 the Manager of Finance and Administrative Services and the functional specialist will have an objective included in their performance management agreement to ensure environmental considerations are taken into account in all procurement activities.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls Target will be tracked in 2011-12 and reported in the DPR.   All procurement over $500 at CFGB is to be approved by the procurement committee. In fiscal year 2011-12, the terms of reference of the committee will be reviewed to add environmental considerations in the decision making of the committee. Furthermore, for service transactions, the contract preparation form will be updated to include environmental considerations to track green procurement. CFGB continues to support the protection of the environment by having network printers set to duplex by default, by using the RDIMS to classify documents electronically therefore reducing the usage of paper and by reducing travel by using videoconferencing equipment to hold meetings with members outside NCR.

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Performance Measures for Part B

Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments (as designated by Public Works and Government Services Canada [PWGSC]) for a specified good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Dollar value of purchases that incorporate environmental considerations for a good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Good/Service Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) Actual Results as % Description/Comments
Office furniture, office supplies and IT equipment. N/A  

The CFGB purchases primarily involve office supplies, office furniture and IT equipment. These purchases will continue to be made through the use of PWGSC Standing Offer on products and services that provide best prices, better quality and a green procurement guarantee (e.g. recycled material, environmental performance)

In FY 2010-2011, the Board virtualized all of its servers using VmWare's server virtualization technology. This project reduced our IT footprint from 15 to 3 servers bringing great financial savings as well as reducing our server power consumption by more than 50%.

During the next fiscal year, we will be looking at virtualizing the Board users' desktop computers. This would once again greatly reduce power consumption as well as bring great financial savings over the long term (5-10 years).

The Board continues to look for innovative ways to Green its IT and office as a whole.

Total quantity of a consumable purchased (e.g., paper) or an asset owned or leased (e.g., printing devices) relative to total number of full-time equivalents (FTEs).
