Greening Government Operations (GGO)
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
- FedDev Ontario plans to continually improve procurement planning through the maturation of key management processes and controls. These will ensure consistent and appropriate use of the Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments, including paper, imaging devices, information technology (IT) hardware, furniture and toner cartridges.
- FedDev Ontario will undertake an education campaign around green workplace behaviour, including:
- Appropriate power consumption behaviours
- Reduction of reliance on consumables (paper)
- Identifying key individuals within procurement services and ensure that necessary training on green procurement is provided.
- FedDev Ontario will undertake a complete assessment of existing policy instruments and engage senior management on the inclusion of green procurement objectives into employee performance metrics.
- FedDev Ontario remains an active participant in the Government of Canada Digital Office Initiative and expects to significantly reduce the reliance on paper products through this initiative. The main expected benefit of this modernized approach to recordkeeping would be the increased use of electronic records in areas formerly dominated by paper. This will be accomplished through a combination of updated policies, use of modern IT systems and user education on green recordkeeping practices.
