1. How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement? The DND and the CF are committed to applying the principles of green procurement by integrating environmental performance considerations into material acquisition and support (MA&S) policies, decision-making processes and practices in a manner that supports the concept of sustainable development, satisfies legal and policy requirements, reinforces performance management and is relevant to the DND and CF mission. In support of TBS Contracting Policy Notice 2006-1 - Policy on Green Procurement, DND/CF issued, on December 1st 2006, DAOD 3015-0 - Green Procurement and on 2 November 2007, DAOD 3015-1 - Management of Green Procurement. These directives apply to employees of the Department of National Defence and are orders that apply to officers and non-commissioned members of the Canadian Forces. DAOD 3015-0 confirms the requirement for the DND and the CF to apply the principles of green procurement by integrating environmental performance considerations into DND and CF material acquisition and support (MA&S) policies, decision-making processes and practices in accordance with the TBS Policy on Green Procurement and the DND/CF DAOD 3000-0, Materiel Acquisition and Support. The supporting DAOD 3015-1 explains how the green procurement policy is to be implemented, and defines the roles and responsibilities in respect of the management of green procurement in the DND and the CF; specific topics include operating principles, costing, integration of environment performance considerations, monitoring and reporting, and responsibilities. |

At the highest level, broad strategic commitment to the development and implementation of the SDS is provided through the Report on Plans and Priorities and through the Defence Plan. The Department’s progress on meeting its SDS commitments is reported to Government as an integral part of the annual Departmental Performance Report.
