4. Theme IV: Targets and Implementation Strategies

Goal 7:  Waste and Asset Management

Target 7.2: Green Procurement

As of April 1, 2014, the Government of Canada will continue to take action to embed environmental considerations into public procurement, in accordance with the federal Policy on Green Procurement.

Scope and Context

The Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (ORSCC) procures over $5M in goods and services per year, in several commodity categories.  Although greening of our procurement can be integrated throughout our activities, the ORSCC is focusing on three prospective areas of greening its procurement:  toners and cartridges, office supplies and office furniture.
