Reporting on Green Procurement 2021-22
This supplementary information table supports reporting on green procurement activities in accordance with the Policy on Green Procurement.
Context
The PMPRB is bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act and was required to develop a 2020 to 2023 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS). This strategy can be found on the PMPRB’s website.
Commitments
Greening Government: The Government of Canada will transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient, and green operations
| FSDS target(s) | FSDS contributing action(s) | Corresponding departmental action(s) | Starting point(s) Performance indicator(s) Target(s) |
Results achieved | Contribution by each departmental result to the FSDS goal and target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Actions supporting the Greening Government goal and the Policy on Green Procurement |
Departments will use environmental criteria to reduce the environmental impact and ensure best value in government procurement decisions |
Set departmental targets to reduce environmental impact of specific goods or services:
|
Baseline 2019-20: 100% Performance indicator: number of toner cartridges and paper purchased out of total number purchased in the fiscal year that were from reused/recycled materials Target: 100% of toner cartridges and paper purchased are from reused or recycled materials by 2020 |
No paper purchased in 2021-22; 0% (0 of 2)(a) of toner cartridges purchased in 2021-22 were made from reused or recycled materials. |
SDG 11 and 12 - The use of reused or recycled materials reduces the amount of waste from manufacturing plant as well as the amount of waste that ends up in land fill sites. |
Departments will adopt clean technology and undertake clean technology demonstration projects |
|
Baseline: 2019-20: 100% Performance indicator: number of pieces of e-waste disposed of in an environmentally sound and secure manner out of total number of pieces of e-waste disposed of in the fiscal year Target: 100% of e-waste is disposed of in an environmentally sound and secure manner by 2020 |
The PMPRB had zero e-waste in 2021-22. |
SDG 11 and 12 - Proper disposal of e-waste reduces the amount of waste that ends up in land fill sites. |
|
Support for green procurement will be strengthened, including guidance, tools and training for public service employees |
Ensure that decision makers have the necessary training and awareness to support green procurement |
Baseline 2019-20: 100% Performance indicator: number of decision-makers with the necessary training to support green procurement Target: 100% of procurement and/or material management decision makers have completed the required Canada School of Public Service Procurement courses or their equivalent by 2020 |
100% of procurement and/or material management decision makers have completed the required Canada School of Public Service Procurement courses |
SDG 9 - Procurement agents who are trained to apply such criteria can award contracts to suppliers with a reduced GHG footprint. |
(a) An internal error led to the purchase of non-recycled toner in 2021-22. Steps have been taken to remedy this result for 2022-23 onward.
SDG 7 – Affordable and clean energy
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
SDG 11 – Sustainable cities and communities
SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
SDG 13 – Climate action - Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Report on integrating sustainable development
During the 2021–22 reporting cycle, the PMPRB had no proposals that required a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and no public statements were produced.
