| Activity | 2008–2009 Level as % |
2010–2011 Level as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | Data not available | 80% | The entire procurement team is in transition training as a prerequisite to obtaining contracting authority. Materiel managers and procurement personnel will attend green procurement training either through the Treasury Board Secretariat Professional Development and Certification Program for the Procurement, Materiel Management and Real Property Communities or through other federal government green procurement course offerings. The Personal Learning Plan will be a good indicator to track training data. |
| 1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders | Data not available | 60% | The department will adjust current training to include training on green procurement to acquisition cardholders in 2010–2011. Common Services maintains a record of all cardholders, which provides a tracking mechanism. The Procurement and Contracting Client User Guide will be provided to all cardholders as part of their training. |
| 2. Performance Evaluations | Data not available | 80% | Performance evaluations will be prepared or amended accordingly. The established procedures for green procurement will be outlined in the procedures manual for procurement officers and the Procurement and Contracting Client User Guide will provide guidance to Citizenship and Immigration (CIC) clients. Results will be obtained when procurement officers apply their training and demonstrate a better understanding of the PWGSC Policy on Green Procurement. For more information on the policy, visit www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/ecologisation-greening/achats-procurement/politique-policy-eng.html. |
| 3. Procurement Processes and Controls | Data not available | 60% | Policy and procedures have been developed that consider CIC's sustainable development strategy in the procurement process. They form part of the Procurement and Contracting Procedures Manual. Environmental considerations are integrated in the procurement process, particularly as it relates to green procurement contractual arrangements established by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), which forms part of CIC's Procurement Policies. CIC's financial management system (SAP) will provide reporting data. |
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. Departments should include a minimum of two goods or services (e.g., information technology (IT) hardware, imaging devices, paper).
When a green consolidated procurement instrument (as designated by
PWGSC) is not used or is unavailable for the
specified good or service, this performance measure should be used: 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. Departments
should indicate when a green consolidated procurement instrument for a good or service (as designated by
PWGSC) is not used.

|---|---|---|---|
| Network Printers | 1 per 6 FTEs | 1 per 10 FTEs | The PWGSC planning ratio for printers found in the Fit-Up Standards: Technical Reference Manual is one printer station per 10–15 employees. In addition, CIC provides one printer each per director general and administrative assistant and one per director or director's assistant. CIC applies this standard on all floors that are being optimized. Information Management Technologies Branch (IMTB) has advised that they will have a plan on a reduction of local printers in place in future (study in progress). IMTB monitors and tags assets for all CIC IT equipment. |
