Greening of Government Operations (GGO) 2011-2012 at CIDA

The Canadian International Development Agency has established targets with respect to the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy Theme IV: Shrinking the Environmental Footprint - Beginning with Government. Overall, these targets cover two key areas: (1) green procurement, and (2) e waste, managed print, paper consumption, and green meetings.

1. Targets for green procurement

a. Procurement of computers and screens
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of computers and screens procured using PWGSC green standing offers in 2011-2012 100%  

b. Procurement of furniture
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of furniture procured using PWGSC green standing offers in 2011-2012 100%  

c. Procurement of vehicles
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of vehicles procured using PWGSC green standing offers in 2011-2012 100%  


d. Staff training
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
A target will be identified in 2011-2012    

Strategies / Comments

The employee performance management process, including the learning plan, provides a framework for ongoing, open, and honest communication between supervisors/managers and employees. This process makes it possible to establish performance objectives that consider the needs of the employee and CIDA in achieving the organization's strategic objectives.


e. Processes and control measures
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of procurement identified as green in 2011-2012 100%  

Strategies / Comments

CIDA's financial system has been modified, so that it can be identified whether procurement of an asset is green or not. This improvement will allow CIDA to produce annual reports on the type of procurement, to identify procurement that does not meet criteria for the greening of operations, and to include justification of choices, or possibly to influence choices made.


2. Targets for electronic waste, printing management, paper consumption, and green meetings


a. Green and safe recycling of surplus electronic and electrical equipment
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Existence of an implementation plan for the elimination of electronic and electrical equipment generated by CIDA Draft  
Percentage of departmental sites whose implementation plan for the elimination of electronic and electrical equipment has been fully put in place at year-end 50% in
2011-2012		  

100% in
2012-2013

  

Strategies / Comments

The disposal of these assets is included in CIDA's asset management framework (currently being developed and scheduled to be implemented in 2011-2012). At present, 90 percent of electronic and electrical equipment disposal is green. Contracts are in place for the disposal of telephones and BlackBerrys. Computers are recycled through the Computers for Schools program or sent to PWGSC's Crown Assets and Disposal services. All electronic equipment with memory is checked prior to their disposal, to ensure the security of information they might have contained during their use. Employees responsible for asset management work with the team of information technology specialists to put suitable procedures in place to allow the fullest, most effective, safe, green management of electronic and electrical assets.

b. Average ratio of 8 office staff for each printing unit
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Printing units in proportion to the number of employees for the 2010-2011 reference year 5.6  
Printing units in proportion to the number of employees at year end 2014 10  

c. 20% reduction in in-house paper consumption per employee
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Total equipment (photocopiers, fax machines, network and personal printers) in 2010-2011 388  
Total equipment (photocopiers, fax machines, network and personal printers) in 2013-2014 200  

Strategies / Comments

In 2007, two-sided printing was set as the default on CIDA's printing systems. This allowed a reduction of about 15 percent. By 2014, the total number of devices (photocopiers, fax machines, network and personal printers) will be strategically reduced from 388 in 2010 to 195 by 2014. This will help to achieve the 20 percent objective.

d. Adoption of a green meeting guide
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Departmental protocol reviewed    

Strategies / Comments

CIDA has had a protocol for green meetings on its website since March 2008. This protocol will be reviewed by 2012. Communications activities will be carried out to remind managers and employees of the steps they can take to shrink CIDA's environmental footprint.


3. Other targets for greening government operations


a. Recycling of batteries, used ink cartridges, and compact disks
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of batteries, ink cartridges, and compact disks recycled in 2011-2012 100%  

Strategies / Comments

CIDA has put measures in place to ensure that batteries and compact disks are recycled through private firms. CIDA has also entered into a legal agreement with Mira, a non profit organization, to recycle ink cartridges. In pursuit of this objective, messages will be posted on CIDA's intranet site to encourage the use of these programs. Each year, CIDA recycles approximately the equivalent of 720 litres of shredded disks, 200 kilos of batteries and 1,600 ink cartridges.

b. Recycling of hand towels used in washrooms
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Percentage of hand towels used in washrooms at 200 Promenade du Portage and recycle in 2011-2012 100%  

Strategies / Comments

For the past two years, CIDA has negotiated with SNC Lavalin and PWGSC to set up a program to recycle hand towels used in washrooms at 200 Promenade du Portage. The initiative was finally implemented in 2010-2011. This paper will be used for composting. CIDA will continue to negotiate with PWGSC to extend this service to all areas occupied by CIDA.


c. Means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs)
Performance measure RPP DPR
Target status  
Number of countries of focus where video/teleconference equipment was installed in 2011-2012
 5  

Strategies / Comments

In 2009-2010, CIDA procured about $320,000 of equipement for 8 new video/teleconference rooms. Installation was completed in the early months 2010-2011. These new facilities should help to reduce the number of trips to the field. CIDA procedures about 30 hours of video/teleconferencing per week. A substantial increase can be expected when 5 countries of focus are provided with equipment procured through DFAIT.
