Green Procurement

How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement?

The department has committed, under Sustainable Development Strategy 2007–2010 Target 2.3.2, to Develop and implement a departmental green procurement policy for INAC.

The planned activities listed in the Strategy’s Action Plan include the following:


Activities
2008–2009 Conduct an in-house policy review of procurement by December 2008.
Write a departmental green procurement policy by January 2009.
2009–2010 Implement a departmental green procurement policy by March 2010.

Has your department established green procurement targets?


( ) Yes ( ) No (×) In Progress

Describe the green procurement targets that have been set by your department and indicate the associated benefits anticipated.

Progress in this area is ongoing. The environmental scan of the implementation of a policy on green procurement at INAC needs to be completed first since its findings will be instrumental before establishing department-wide targets and determining how best to implement environmental performance considerations into the procurement and decision-making processes.
