Increasing the degree of utilization of PWGSC Standing offer agreements (SOA) respecting Green Procurement, using already assessed “green” procurement tool.
Increasing the purchase of alternative fuels and widening the use of hybrid vehicles in RCMP fleet in order to reduce the RCMP's overall emission of greenhouse gases.

Establishment of a RCMP Green Procurement Working Group whose mandate will include developing green procurement strategies, the development and implementation of National Green Procurement guidelines, providing advice, help in setting targets, and monitoring and reporting. This working group will be essential in coordinating and advancing green procurement in the RCMP.
