Green Building Targets

Targets / Strategies / Comments

  1. Approach: The Director General, Procurement and Contracting Branch is accountable for the “promulgation and monitoring of national procurement/contracting policies” which includes all aspects of the Policy on Green Procurement.
  2. Management Processes and Controls: Our financial coding system has been modified to allow the tracking and monitoring of all “green” procurement activities including purchases from Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) green consolidated procurement instruments. Procedures have been established to review and vet system data for accuracy of coding and reporting. All procurement policies have been reviewed and updated for relevance including the RCMP’s Policy on Green Procurement. The RCMP has established a Green Procurement Working Group to help with the formulation and implementation of policies and initiatives related to Green Procurement.
  3. Setting Targets: In addition to commitments identified in ii., iv., and v., the RCMP has committed to the targets as listed below.
  4. Training: The RCMP (or “Branch”) required that all existing functional specialist staff take Canada School of Public Service(CPPS) course C215 by the end of the fiscal year. The RCMP also required that all new functional specialist staff take CSPS course C215 within three months of being hired.
  5. Performance Evaluations: This fiscal year required that selected procurement directors had an objective included in his/her performance management agreement to ensure environmental considerations are taken into account in procurement activities where possible.
As of April 1, 2012, the RCMP will utilize green consolidated procurement instruments for 85% of its purchases of laptop computers, desktop computers and network printers.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments for laptop computers, desktop computers and network printers relative to total dollar value of all purchases for laptop computers, desktop computers and network printers in the baseline year selected. (FY 2010-2011) 85%  
Progress against measure in the given fiscal year.    

Strategies / Comments

  1. Specific: Refers to specific type of commodity and purchasing mechanism
  2. Measurable: Information available from our financial systems
  3. Achievable: Departmental policy mandating use of PWGSC standing offers
  4. Relevant: High volume / cost of computer and printer purchases
  5. Time-bound: Date established for target implementation and completion
