Green Procurement Reporting for the NBC not
bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act (RPP — 2012-13)

Mandatory reporting on meeting the requirements of Section 7 of the Policy on Green Procurement, as applicable to departments and agencies bound by the Policy on Green Procurement but not the Federal Sustainable Development Act.
Strategies / Comments:

The NBC will continue, in 2012-13, the implementation of its three-year sustainable development action plan prepared in 2011-12 to maintain the environmental health and sustainability of the Park. The Secretary/Director General will oversee the implementation of the measures described below.

  • Green procurement to reduce environmental impacts:

    • Replace the light components of the Park’s lampposts with a more energy efficient system.
    • Replace old appliances with energy efficient Energy Star-qualified products.
    • Purchase biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning products that won’t affect the health of occupants.
    • Purchase green renovation and building materials, especially with regard to paint, glues and solvents.

    Procurement management processes and controls:

    • Educate staff, suppliers and sub-contractors about responsible purchasing.
    • Develop an awareness guide on responsible purchasing for all NBC buyers.
    • Take steps to include sustainable development criteria in bids.
    • Improve the recycling collection system (more recycling bins)

An annual follow-up concerning the implementation of the sustainable development plan will be carried out with all managers.
