Although the CFIA is not legally bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act (FSDA), the organization is committed to adhering with the intent of the Act wherever feasible. In this context the CFIA will undertake fleet based GHG reduction initiatives wherever possible within the mandate and operating context of the organization.
- CFIA GHG emission targets are identified for fleet only.
- The CFIA is undertaking the development and implementation of a Ground Transportation Management Strategy which will contribute to the development of detailed and specific GHG emissions strategies for fleet.
1 The predicted 13% reduction in fleet based GHG emissions has been based on current PWGSC and CFIA assumptions relating to future fuel efficiency, predicted variance in value between conventional and hybrid vehicles, projected fleet replacement requirements and practices.
2 A CFIA Ground Transportation Management Strategy has been initiated that will inform the projected GHG emission target for fiscal year 2011-2012.

The disposal processes will include consideration of the following disposal mechanisms: Computers for Schools, Crown Assets Distribution, transfer/donation to other departments, provincial e-waste programs, Departmental Individual Standing Offer, etc.
- An educational element will be incorporated into the tools and templates associated with e-waste disposal.
- A transition plan will be developed for the implementation of environmentally sound e-waste disposal mechanisms at CFIA locations, and this will be used as the basis to set annual targets for implementation.
- Implementation of a communications strategy will be critical in support of effective implementation.
| 8.7 By March 31, 2013, each department will achieve an 8:1 average ratio of office employees to printing units. Departments will apply target where building occupancy levels, security considerations, and space configuration allow. | |||

Strategies / Comments
- Print Units have been defined as: desktop printers, network printers, multifunctional devices, and photocopiers.
- The CFIA will undertake a targeted strategy for reduction of the print unit per office employee ratio based on a 2010-2011 baseline. An element of this targeted strategy will include potential amendments to purchasing, accommodations and/or IM/IT practices and procedures.
- The CFIA strategy will target an over-all Agency 1:8 print units per office employee ratio. However individual buildings or work units may have a smaller ratio due to building occupancy and/or security considerations.
- In the short term, a variety of methods are to be utilized to set the print unit baseline including asset tracking and physical inventories. This will be followed by a longer term strategy for tracking print unit information which will support an annual reporting capacity for the organization.
- Implementation of a communications strategy will be critical in support of effective implementation.
| 8.8 By March 31, 2014, each department will reduce internal paper consumption per office employee by 20%. Each department will establish a baseline between 2005-2006 and 2011-2012, and applicable scope. | |||

Although the CFIA is not legally bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act (FSDA), the organization is committed to adhering with the intent of the Act wherever feasible. In this context:
- The CFIA anticipates the scope of the paper consumption reduction initiative to include all Agency employees instead of just office employees.
- The CFIA intends to develop strategies to target high paper consumption functions as a primary area of focus, and to develop strong communications plans to educate all employees regarding the environmental considerations associated with paper consumption including recommended printing practices.
- A focus will be placed on the development of mechanisms to facilitate tracking of paper consumption / purchase.

| Performance Measure | RPP | DPR |
|---|---|---|
| Target Status | ||
| Presence of a green meeting guide. (Optional in RPP 2011-12) | NO | |
Strategies / Comments
- A CFIA-specific green meeting guideline will be developed in order to inform and guide CFIA meeting practices. This guide will be developed by the National Environmental Management Office in consultation with key partners throughout the Agency. The CFIA guideline will build on best practices identified in other Departments, Agencies and organizations and align these best practices to the needs of the Agency.
- A strong implementation and communication strategy will be critical in support of effective implementation of the green meeting guideline once developed.

Strategies / Comments
CFIA is presently researching its green procurement data for the last two fiscal years to serve as a comparison with the current fiscal year and future years. This is intended to support progress monitoring in this area and institution of remedial measures as necessary.
A comprehensive listing of all PWGSC's certified green suppliers, per commodity group is being developed by the CFIA. This list will be communicated to all Agency procurement specialists, acquisition card holders and responsibility centre managers in order to promote its use in their purchasing of goods and services.
