Overview

The GGO supplementary table applies to departments and agencies bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act, the Policy on Green Procurement, or the Policy Framework for Offsetting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Major International Events.

Green Procurement Reporting For Departments and Agencies Not Bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act

Departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act must complete mandatory reporting on meeting the requirements of Section 7 of the Policy on Green Procurement using this section.

Strategies / Comments

1. Approach: The NEB’s approach to implementing green procurement is to target the use of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) procurement instruments, the delivery of training to key personnel and the inclusion of green procurement objectives in the employee performance evaluations of key decision makers.
   
   
2. Management Processes and Controls: The NEB uses PWGSC procurement instruments as its primary procurement mechanism and leverages the environmental considerations incorporated into these standing offers by PWGSC. Furthermore:
   
   
   • In 2012-13, the NEB procurement and materiel management policies will be reviewed and updated to ensure environmental considerations are integrated.
     
     
3. Setting Targets: In addition to commitments identified in ii., iv., and v., the NEB has the following targets:
   
   
   • Ensure that 95% of all paper and furniture purchases are made through PWGSC green consolidated procurement instruments, where available.
     
     
   • Ensure that 90% of all office supply purchases are made through PWGSC consolidated procurement instruments, where available.
     
     This target was selected through an NEB spend analysis, in consideration of the mandate and the nature and risks of the Board’s purchases.
     
     
4. Training: The NEB will ensure that all existing procurement and materiel management functional specialist staff¹ take the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) course C215 by the end of the fiscal year (5 employees in total). The NEB will also require that all new functional specialist staff and acquisition card holders take CSPS course C215 within three months of being hired or assigned an acquisition card.
   
   
5. Performance Evaluations: This fiscal year the Board will ensure that an objective to take environmental considerations into account for all procurement activities is included in the performance management agreement of each manager of procurement functional specialists (2 managers total).
   
   
6. Meeting Targets: The NEB will report against these targets in the Departmental Performance Report.
