Approach: The DG, Finance and Contracting for the Courts Administration Service will play a co-ordination role for initiatives related to green procurement in collaboration with key internal stakeholders in the Judicial, Registry and Corporate Services Branches. CAS will enhance its efforts with respect to green procurement by setting specific targets in its 2012‑13 Report on Plans and Priorities.

  1. In 2011-12, all Contracting and Materiel Management Staff were trained on Green Procurement. Any new personnel in that section will be expected to successfully complete the course within 6 months of being hired.

  2. CAS will require that 100% of the members of the Contract Review Committee, as well as 75% of all key acquisition cardholders, successfully complete CSPS Course 215 on Green Procurement. Green procurement training will also be required for new acquisition cardholders as these cards are issued to employees.

% of paper used containing recycled fibres 100%

Strategies / Comments

In light of CAS' requirements, CAS relies heavily on the use of pre-established Supply Arrangements and Standing Offers that have been prepared by PWGSC for the vast majority of its goods procurements.

  1. All paper used in printing/copying contains recycled fibres as of 2010-11.

  2. Where possible, all printers, including those networked and local desktops, will have duplexing capabilities and this shall be the default setting.

  3. All contract documents will incorporate standard green procurement clauses indicating the need to be mindful of environmental considerations in the performance of the work requested.

  4. A Green Procurement Checklist will be developed for use by the Contract Review Committee to monitor the Green Procurement considerations.

CAS also anticipates a reduction in paper consumption through the implementation of e-filing and digital recording solutions however, these multi-year projects require a substantial investment of resources.
