Green Procurement Targets

8.10 As of April 1, 2011, each department will establish at least 3 SMART green procurement targets to reduce environmental impacts.


1. By fiscal year 2012–13, the Agency will reduce the dollar value per employee spent on office supplies by 5%.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Based on 255 employees $149/employee  

Strategies/Comments

  1. Specific: The target is one of the key commodities identified by the Office of Greening Government Operations (OGGO).
  2. Measurable: Information is easily retrievable from the Agency's financial system to assess progress.
  3. Achievable: The Agency is committed to sustainable development.
  4. Relevant: Office supplies are among the Agency's most common acquisition actions because it has very limited procurement requirements.
  5. Time-bound: Communications to engage management will start as of 2011–12 for a reduction target date of 2012–13.

Other Considerations

  1. Scope: Agency-wide office supplies.
  2. Processes/Reporting Requirements: Financial system.
  3. Roles and Responsibilities: Supported by the Agency's senior management with the Director of Finance and Administration as the lead.
  4. Plans for Engagement: Ongoing communications to all staff with the participation of the Agency's Green Team, which is supported by senior management. Decentralized approach and allocate budget as per target.
  5. Estimated Benefits: Reduced waste and increased reuse and recycling.


2. Maintain or exceed the use of consolidated green procurement instruments provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada's acquisitions branch for 95% of information technology (IT) hardware equipment purchases.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Total volume of IT hardware acquisitions against volume of green vehicles utilized. 95%  

Strategies/Comments

  1. Specific: The target is one of the key commodities identified by the OGGO.

  3. Achievable: Acquisitions of IT hardware are managed by only one cost centre manager.
  4. Relevant: IT hardware equipment is assessed to be the highest dollar value and most routinely procured item for the Agency.
  5. Time-bound: Ongoing.

Other Considerations

Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Total number of units possessing environmental features against total number of units. 95%  

Strategies/Comments

  1. Specific: The target is one of the key commodities identified by the OGGO.
  2. Measurable: Rental of multifunction units is managed centrally.
  3. Achievable: The target is departmental-policy driven.
  4. Relevant: This smart target is aligned with the "Minimizing the environmental footprint of government operations" initiative.
