Green Procurement

Green Procurement Capacity Building

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	100	91	All but one Contracting and Materiel Management Division personnel have taken formal training on green procurement (C215). Due to a reduction of personnel, this percentage has decreased in comparison with fiscal year 2009-10 results.
Training for Acquisition Cardholders	100	100	In order for employees to obtain an acquisition card, they must have access to the Integrated Financial and Material System (IFMS). Although "green" is not covered in the acquisition card training, it is part of the IFMS training that is mandatory prior to gaining access to the system.
Performance Evaluations	100	50	Environmental considerations targets have been developed and need to be included in the evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management. Full implementation and tracking of the targets is expected for fiscal year 2011-12.
Procurement Processes and Controls	N/A	30	Environmental considerations are included in 3 of the 10 procurement processes being used within the Department.

Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Good/Service	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Overall Goods and Services	4.5	18.2	Determined through the use of Green Standing Offers (as identified in Public Works and Government Services Canada's list), and as identified by users of the Integrated Financial and Material System. The Department increased purchases of Green goods and services, while reducing overall acquisition costs. This resulted in a significantly higher percentage than previously forecasted.
Information Technology Goods	75	93.0	Determined through the use of Green Standing Offers, the percentage refers to the overall green spending ratio (when compared to overall spend) for Information Technology goods. An increase in the use of Green Standing Offers and a decrease in overall expenditures resulted in a significant increase in percentage for fiscal year 2010-11.
Vehicles	100	N/A	Canadian Heritage did not purchase any vehicle in fiscal year 2010-11.

Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Consumable/Asset	Target as % Reduction or # per FTE	Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE	Description/Comments
Paper purchases	A reduction of 0.5% of the total consumption of paper (83,300 less sheets).	33.3% (5,272 sheets / FTE)	Figures are calculated on the volume paper purchased, divided by the amount of departmental FTEs. The results vary from previous years calculations since the data source is not limited to the National Capital Region. Specialty paper or smaller purchases combined with the purchase of other items (such as with bigger orders of office supplies) are not included.
