Table 3: Green Procurement

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

A comprehensive internal implementation strategy is under development. As well, the department has incorporated environmental considerations into its Integrated Investment Plan for capital costs. The department is also working with Public Works and Government Services on Procurement Renewal and, through this initiative, is considering departmental participation to pilot one of the tools developed to assist all departments with implementation. The tool under consideration is Guidelines to Integrate Environmental Performance Considerations into Procurement Management Control Frameworks.

Environment Canada, as one of the policy partners for this Policy, continues to fulfill its role in providing expert guidance and advice to Public Works and Government Services as described in the MoU between the policy partner departments and the Treasury Board Secretariat. As part of this role, EC continues to participate in several commodity teams, to ensure that appropriate green criteria are integrated into Government of Canada purchasing instruments.
