Green Procurement

Green Procurement Capacity Building

Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

Performance Measures For Part A:

1a. Number of procurement and materiel management staff with formal green procurement training (e.g., C215 or in-house tailored alternative) relative to total number of procurement and materiel management staff.

1b. Number of acquisition cardholders with formal green procurement training (e.g., C215 or in-house tailored alternative) relative to total number of acquisition cardholders.

2. Number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management.

3. Number of departmental procurement processes and controls that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of departmental procurement processes and controls that should address environmental considerations. Alternatively, departments and agencies can report on progress to improve the integration of environmental considerations in management processes and controls relative to procurement.

Activity	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	90% of Materiel Managers and Procurement Personnel	87% of Materiel Managers and Procurement Personnel department-wide	100% of designated Corporate Services, Strategic Policy Branch and Regional Corporate Services, Strategic Management and Communications staff which conduct procurement activities for PWGSC received green procurement training (43 trained / 43 designated) Due to staff turnover and the shear volume of staff conducting procurement on behalf of other government departments, 85% of Acquisitions Branch procurement personnel received green procurement training (383 trained / 449 designated) As a result, the departmental result fell slightly short of the 90% target (87%, or 426 trained / 492 designated).
Training for Acquisition Cardholders	90% of Acquisition Cardholders	100%	Since all new Acquisition Cardholders must complete green procurement training in order to receive their acquisition card, the actual results for this activity (100%) exceeds the target of 90%). All previous cardholders who have not completed the training had their acquisition cards cancelled.
Performance Evaluations	All identified managers and functional heads will have environmental consideration clauses incorporated into their performance evaluations for the 2011 – 12 fiscal year.	100%	Department – wide 117 managers and functional heads who should have environmental considerations included in their performance evaluations for 2011-2012, have been identified. A suite of sample clauses has been disseminated to all identified managers and functional heads for the 2011-12 fiscal year performance evaluations. Monitoring will be accomplished through the performance management cycle already in place.
Procurement Processes and Controls	By March 31, 2011, all identified management processes and controls, relating to procurement, will have incorporated environmental considerations.	100%	Environmental considerations have been included in Contract Management Control Framework, Contract Management Guide and DP 99 Policy on Procurement, key policy instruments that govern management controls

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 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 (This performance measure applies when a green consolidated procurement instrument as designated by PWGSC was not used or was unavailable for the specified good or service).

Good/Service	Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
IT Hardware (includes: desktops, notebooks, servers, and thin clients)	100%	98%	There are operational requirements that occasionally require the purchase of IT hardware items (i.e. iPads for testing) that are not included in green consolidated procurement instruments.
Vehicles	100%	100%	Achieved 100% result. Light duty vehicle purchases incorporated environmental considerations (e.g., clean diesel engines, fuel consumption / km, etc.) However, operational requirements (e.g., towing capacity, off-road use, cargo capacity, etc) resulted in exceptions for non-light duty vehicles.

Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods

Performance Measure For Part C:

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

Consumable/Asset	Target as % Reduction or # per FTE	Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE	Description/Comments
Paper – Double-sided Printing by Default (on networked resources)	60% of printed pages on networked devices will be double-sided in the NCA.	Not available	Reporting of this commitment has been discontinued because PWGSC no longer tracks duplex printing data due to a systems change. However, PWGSC will be tracking paper reduction in accordance with target 8.8 of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy.
Printing Devices	By March 31, 2011, achieve a minimum average ratio of office employees to printing device of 4:1, where building occupancy levels and space configuration apply.	5.83:1	The target has been exceeded. PWGSC has launched the Information Technology Asset Alignment Project (ITAAP) to promote the reduction of Printing devices and to track and monitor these efforts.
