Activity | Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) | Actual Results as % | Description/Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | 75% | 73% | Significant turnover in staff has occurred since the establishment of these targets. New employees are in the process of completing the required training. ACOA undertook an exercise to widen the scope of the training by identifying positions with responsibility for procurement. These positions fall into the category of functional specialists, and the employees will attend mandatory training related to green procurement practices. |
Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 75% | 88% | 88% of new acquisition cardholders completed the training course and provided their proof of completion before receiving their acquisition credit cards. All existing cardholders will be required to complete the training before their expired cards are replaced. |
Performance Evaluations | 100% | 100% | All functional specialists have an objective included in their employee performance assessment to ensure that environmental considerations are taken into account when undertaking procurement activities. |
Procurement Processes and Controls | Contracting documents and internal acquisition credit-card policies were reviewed and updated to integrate environmental considerations into procurement activities and mandatory training requirements for all cardholders. The Agency continues to review procurement processes and controls to ensure that policies are updated so as to reflect the latest information on green procurement practices and to include it in all aspects of the decision-making process. |

Printers | To decrease ACOA’s existing ratio (one printer per five employees in 2008-09), wherever operationally applicable. | A 7% reduction was achieved. A method of counting FTEs and printers is being developed to ensure consistent and accurate reporting in future. |
A review exercise of printers and photocopiers (including scanners and fax machines) resulted in the reduction of 14 printers and the adoption of multifunctional devices. This will increase efficiencies in energy consumption, in physical assets and in financial savings. |
