  2. Reduce use of paper by eliminating the need to submit paper copies of the applications for funding. As of April 1st, 2010, all applications for funding are now submitted electronically through a secure site, paper copies no longer required.
  3. All printers, both in business centres and desktops print duplex, and where possible, duplex printing is the default setting.
  4. Scanning to email capacity in business centres has reduced use of paper and some processes have changed to save information electronically rather than copying for a paper file.
  5. Green Procurement Training material was developed in 2010-11 for RC Managers involved in procurement activities. The training is planned to be rolled out beginning April 2011.
  6. CIHR developed the Green Procurement plan in 2009-10 to build employee awareness on the importance of the plan. The plan is posted on CIHR's intranet website to increase visibility.
