Greening Government Operations (GGO)

Overview

The GGO supplementary table applies to departments and agencies bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act, the Policy on Green Procurement, or the Policy Framework for Offsetting Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Major International Events.

Please note:

  • RPP refers to Reports on Plans and Priorities and represents planned / expected results.
  • DPR refers to Departmental Performance Reports and represents actual results.

Printing Unit Reduction Target


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.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
Ratio of departmental office employees to printing units at the end of the given fiscal year, where building occupancy levels, security considerations and space configuration allow. FY 2011–12 8 : 1  
FY 2012–13 8 : 1  
FY 2013–14 8 : 1  


Green Meetings Target


8.9 By March 31, 2012, each department will adopt a guide for greening meetings.
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status  
CanNor will produce a green meeting guide 100%  

Strategies / Comments

  1. CanNor offices are distributed across more than 40 percent of Canada’s land mass. The majority of Agency meetings are conducted by teleconference and by using electronic media. This reduces paper use as well as reduces greenhouse gases that might be generated in transporting employees to face-to-face meetings.

Green Procurement Reporting for Departments and Agencies Not Bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act

8.10 As of April 1, 2011, each department will establish at least 3 SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound) green procurement targets to reduce environmental impacts.

Strategies / Comments

  2. 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.


Greening Office Equipment Procurement: CanNor will ensure that 75 percent of shared-use office equipment procured by the Agency, such as photocopiers, will be multifunction (including scanning, faxing, copying and printing functions) with the goal of reducing the total number of machines.
