Existence of an implementation plan to reduce GHG emissions.		Yes Completed in Oct. 2011

Strategies / Comments

1. Targeted GHG emissions sources include facilities and fleet.
2. EC monitors and reports annually on GHG emissions from its entire fleet inventory and 93% of its owned floor space.  The annual quantification of emissions from the remaining 7% of floor space is a calculated by assuming that the GHG emissions and energy consumption at these facilities will remain constant at 2005 levels. The calculation is necessary because of the excessive amount of time and effort involved in obtaining complete and accurate data for these facilities. EC owns many small structures located in remote areas, such as National Wildlife Areas and upper air stations
3. Due to program growth since the baseline year, EC’s emissions as of 2010–2011 have increased for its facilities.
4. EC’s implementation plan to reduce GHG emissions includes site-specific targets and actionable measures focused on specific categories (e.g. operations).

	FY 2013–2014	8:1

Strategies / Comments

1. Definition of “printing units”: For this target for 2011–2012, EC will define printing units as network printers and multi-functional devices. In upcoming years, EC will work to include other categories such as desktop printers, scanners, fax machines and/or photocopiers as departmental inventories progress and improve.
2. EC will include all departmental employees, instead of just office employees, and will track its calculation using annual data from a departmental human resource inventory. Printing units will be tracked using departmental inventory data.
3. EC anticipates a number of accommodation moves that will allow implementation of printer rationalization and therefore a decrease in network printers.

	FY 2012–2013	10%
	FY 2013–2014	20%

Strategies / Comments

1. EC established a baseline year of 2010–2011, and has established baseline paper consumption quantities, a tracking methodology, and applicable scope.  Additional implementation strategies will be reviewed in 2012–2013.
2. EC has had a number of best practices in use for many years, including default duplex printing (i.e. installation of new printers are set on duplex as default) as well as printer rationalization, which contributes to less paper being consumed as fewer printers are employed and used. Other activities include the use of ECollab, an e-document management and collaboration tool that enables better collaboration, improved information management across the Department and offers significant improvement in how we create, store, organize, find and manage documents electronically.

1. This will always be a dynamic, variable number as year-round planning and departmental priorities vary from year to year. Increasingly, program areas or enabling services find it necessary to incorporate management frameworks to continually measure and monitor progress in the current results-oriented environment.
2. Management processes and controls identified: IT Assets Management Policy; Integrated Investment Planning process; Accommodations Investment Planning process; Accommodations Framework; and Real Property Framework.

Mandatory reporting on the purchase of greenhouse gas emissions offset credits, as per the Policy Framework for Offsetting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Major International Events, should be reported here.

Quantity of emissions offset in the given fiscal year. (Optional for all RPPs)

Strategies / Comments

The guidelines for this target state: “Given the unique nature of this target, department purchasing offset credits do not need to anticipate the exact quantity of emissions that will be offset. Therefore, the performance measure is optional in every RPP cycle, but mandatory in every DPR cycle, if offset credits have been purchased.”

We have reported on offsets in the past and plan to do so again this year.
