Strategies / Comments

1. Approach:  The Agency’s approach to implementing green procurement is to target several practices which include: the use of PWGSC procurement instruments; ensuring that key staff are trained in green procurement objectives; making certain that a high percentage of shared-use office equipment is multifunctional; ensuring an adequate ratio of office employees to printing units; and adopting measures for greening meetings.
   
   
2. Management Processes and Controls: The Agency will use PWGSC green procurement instruments where it is not in contradiction with land claims objectives.  In some cases, the use of these instruments may contradict the objectives of comprehensive land claims agreements in communities where CanNor has offices.  In these instances, CanNor will determine how to meet the principles of green procurement while responding to the objectives of these agreements.
   
   
3. Setting Targets:  The Agency has the following targets:
   • to ensure that the contracting review committee incorporates considerations for green procurement in all deliberations on all contract proposals;
   • to ensure that procurement staff are trained in green procurement; and
   • to ensure that the Agency’s head of procurement and materiel management be required to integrate goals for green procurement into their performance agreement.
4. Training: The Agency will ensure that staff engaged in providing procurement services will be trained in green procurement practices.  The same training will be provided to administrative staff using acquisition cards.
   
   
5. Performance Evaluations: The Agency will ensure that an objective to take environmental considerations into account for all procurement activities is included in the performance management agreement of the Director of Corporate Services (the Agency’s head of procurement and materiel management) when the position is staffed.
   
   
6. Meeting Targets: The Agency will report against these targets in the Departmental Performance Report.
