Green Procurement
Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building
| Activity | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | 90% | 100% | Staff involved with contracting for goods or services received Green Procurement training
in the form of: C215 On-line Course (Canada School of Public Service) or Required Training Courses (Canada School of Public Service) Corporate Services Contracting personnel who have not completed the C215 course as of December 2009 will be required to complete it by March 31, 2010. |
| Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 100% | 100% | Training presently involves meeting with each new card holder and explaining the legislative
responsibilities to them. Green procurement links are provided to them as well as our
DFO Finance and Administration 101 Web information pertaining
to various departmental procurement and contracting policies. DFO
allows the card holders to use SOAs up to the limit of the
mandatory and other SOAs. Activities against
SOA firms where the
GAC is used cannot be tracked by Oracle, but in 2010-11,
tracking GAC transactions will be attempted. DFO regional managers are exposed to Green Procurement requirements via the Delegated Authorities Training courses provided; completion of C215 is encouraged. |
| Performance Evaluations | — | — | As yet, full reporting requirements have not been identified for Oracle insofar as Green Procurement is concerned. A team will be looking into the use of Line Objects and various flex fields in Oracle to allow DFO to access Green procurement activities more readily. |
| Procurement Processes and Controls | — | — | DFO is currently modifying our
Green Procurement policy to reflect the Sustainable Development strategies and targets to align Oracle to allow
for better monitoring and reporting. GAC Green procurement transactions will require dialogue between DFO and the Bank of Montreal to supply Vendors' names based on the Public Works and Government Services Canada's Green SOAs. |
Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments
| Good/Service | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Equipment | 85% | 100% | DFO has had in place for three
years a complete Life Cycle Assets Management process for acquiring PCs,
which have been ordered against specific standards, which include "greening" provisions and were purchased against
SOAs put in place by
PWGSC. LCAM procurement activities for last FY and up until November 30, 2009 were: 2008-09 $4,765,000.00 2009-10 $2,735,000.00 The ability to report from our Financials on service contracts against Green SOAs issued by PWGSC will not be available until 2010-11. |
| Photocopier Paper (Recycled) | Details to follow | Details to follow | Due to the inability to access detailed transactions for paper procurement/consumption,
DFO can report of the amount of recycled paper purchased
for the major centres using high volume photocopiers. Discussions with our systems and financial group will allow us to design reporting abilities to report on recycled paper consumption in the new year. The recycled paper purchased for 2008-09 and 2009-10 for four out of seven Regional HQs High Speed copiers is as follows: 2008-09 $137,000.00 2009-10 as of Nov. 30 $117,000.00 |
Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods (Optional/Where Applicable)
| Consumable/Asset | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Computers: Life Cycle Assets Management (LCAM) | 85% | 100% | LCAM of PCs is now at 100% for PCs connected to the Departmental Wide Area Network. The PWGSC Departmental Individual Standing Offers and Supply Arrangements used by DFO to acquire PCs are environmentally friendly and DFO is further moving to bulk palletized wrapped deliveries to reduce the impact of surplus packaging. |
| Printers | — | — | Currently, leases call for double-sided print capacity. Study to be performed to increase ratio of employees to printers. |
| Consumables [Inventory] | — | — | Currently, DFO is reviewing the inventory management of consumables. We have a number of systems that do not report on a national basis; none that track "green" consumables in particular. The target date to have inventory systems reporting nationally is 2011-12. Green reporting will be factored into any further developments. |
