Table 1: Green Procurement

How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement?

 

Has your department established green procurement targets?


  No  

Describe the green procurement targets that have been set by your department and indicate the associated benefits anticipated.

As a micro-agency, the Tribunal’s procurement decisions are related to day-to-day operations, such as the purchase of paper. From the date of its establishment, the Tribunal has had a policy of purchasing recycled paper only and of limiting the use of paper by accepting complaints and all other documents in a complaint file electronically.

Given the size of the Tribunal and the routine nature of its purchases, no green procurement targets have been established.
