Green Procurement
Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building
| Activity | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | 38% | 50% | Five of the current 16 IRB procurement and materiel management officers have received formal training on green procurement. The long-term objective is for all 16 to receive the training. However, with limited personnel availability in the regions, the IRB realistically anticipates having approximately one-half of the targeted staff trained by the end of 2010-11. |
| Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 0% | 75% | We currently have 51 personnel with acquisition cards at the IRB, only 2 of whom have received formal training on green procurement during 2009-10. Mandatory training for the remaining 49 employees will begin in 2010-11. We expect to achieve 75% by the end of 2010-11 and 100% by the end of 2011-12. |
| Performance Evaluations | 33% | 50% | The aim over the next three years is to have green procurement objectives included in the performance evaluations of all procurement staff. They will be included in the evaluations of all Headquarters staff during 2010-11, for a target of 50% of procurement personnel. The remaining 50% will be achieved by expanding to procurement staff in the regions over the next three years. |
| Procurement Processes and Controls | 20% | 100% | The IRB Procurement Log currently accounts for all Green Procurement. |
Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments
| Good/Sevice | 2008-09 Level |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | % | % | ||
| Paper | $31,735* | 6% | 100% | Paper was identified as one of the IRB's consumable products to target for green procurement. In 2009-10, the IRB switched completely to recycled paper and will continue this practice in 2010-11. |
| IT Hardware | $740,643* | n/a | 75% | IT hardware was identified as one of the IRB's green procurement initiatives. The long-term objective is to achieve 100% of procurements against green consolidated procurement instruments. For 2010-11, the approval process currently in place will allow the IRB to achieve 75% (in dollar value) of this target. |
| Furniture | $82,733* | 42% | 75% | Furniture was identified as one of the IRB's green procurement initiatives. The long-term objective is to achieve 100% of procurements against green consolidated procurement instruments. For 2010-11, the IRB anticipates achieving 75% (in dollar value) of this target. |
Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods (Optional/Where Applicable)
| Consumable/Asset | 2008-09 Level as ratio # Per FTE |
2010-11 Target |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| To be determined. | The IRB has identified three consumable purchases/assets where Green Procurement will be considered: paper, furniture and IT hardware. IRB work was ongoing on a Green Procurement Policy and the Board was not in a position to provide a ratio target level by the production deadline for this report. |
