The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMPRB), as a small agency, takes advantage of the guidance and procurement instruments provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada. As such, the use of standing offers ensures that environmental attributes of suppliers are considered.

During the course of a major retrofit in 2008-2009, the PMPRB had the opportunity to incorporate green principles, such as motion sensor lights in meeting rooms, into their renovated facilities.

The PMPRB distributes information on green procurement to appropriate staff members, and specific training will be provided in 2009-2010.
