Green Procurement

Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building

1b.   Number of acquisition cardholders with formal green procurement training (e.g., CSPS course C215 or an in-house, tailored alternative) relative to total number of acquisition cardholders.

2.   Number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management that incorporate environmental considerations relative to total number of performance evaluations of managers and functional heads of procurement and materiel management.

Alternatively, departments and agencies can report on progress to improve the integration of environmental considerations in management processes and controls relative to procurement.

Activity	Target as %(as reported in 2010-11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff	100%	24.15%	The goal of 100% completion of the online CSPS Green Procurement course by approximately 21,203 personnel by 31 Mar 2011 was not achieved.  Arrangements were made to allow CF members to access the online course and material as well as providing clarification on the Financial Administration Act (FAA) section 32/34 as it relates to individuals who have Materiel Acquisition and Support related functions.
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders	See Above	See Above	Training was provided to all staff, including acquisition cardholders, and not captured for Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff and Training for Acquisition Cardholders.
2. Performance Evaluations	100%	100%	Within the Assistant Deputy Minister (Materiel)’s (ADM-Mat) Performance Management Agreement (PMA), Paragraph 8 specifies: “Lead the greening of Materiel Acquisition and Support in Defence”.
3. Procurement Processes and Controls	N/A	N/A	While this activity was not measured in accordance with this template due to a change in the Reports on Plans and Priorities (RPP) 2010-11, this activity is captured as a target under the new Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) and will be reported on in the Departmental Performance Report (DPR) 2011-12.

Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments

Performance Measures for Part B

Dollar value of purchases against green consolidated procurement instruments (as designated by Public Works and Government Services Canada [PWGSC]) for a specified good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service.

Dollar value of purchases that incorporate environmental considerations for a good or service relative to total dollar value of purchases for that good or service. (This performance measure applies when a green consolidated procurement instrument, as designated by PWGSC, was not used or was unavailable for the specified good or service.)

Good/Service	Target as % (as reported in 2010-11 RPP)	Actual Results as %	Description/Comments
			The Department has promoted the use of PWGSC’s Green Procurement Tools and use of procurement instruments (i.e. Standing Offer Agreements). Chaired by PWGSC/OGGO, Defence participates in the Commodity Management Working Groups which are comprised of various federal departments. During the evaluation of the Goods & Services Standing Offer Agreements (SOAs), materiel is reviewed for having environmentally-friendly attributes.  The Department is an active participant in the PWGSC-chaired Commodity Working Group. Due to the volume of materiel/services utilised, this promotes reviews of materiel/services common to & used by other federal departments. Defence is in the midst of transitioning to one core system for procurement, materiel management and finance and due to the volume and methods of procurement, the level of detail is not available. In the past strategic review, Defence incorporated environmental considerations into the day to day activities, projects and programs and therefore, it would be extremely complicated and difficult to extract specific dollar value line items that incorporate environmental considerations.

Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods (optional/where applicable)

Performance Measure for Part C

Total quantity of a consumable purchased (e.g., paper) or an asset owned or leased (e.g., printing devices) relative to total number of full-time equivalents (FTEs).    

Consumable/Asset	Target as % Reduction or # per FTE	Actual Results as % Reduction or # per FTE	Description/Comments
Paper			The acquisition of paper has been decentralised within the Department and due to the volume and methods of procurement, the level of detail is not available.
Printing Devices			Defence is actively reviewing print device requirements and at the same time utilising the PWGSC Supply Arrangement to further consolidate/reduce printing devices. This consumable/asset is captured as a target under the new Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) and will be reported on in DPR 2011-12.
