    consideration

    encountering resistance to
    change
   Enable competitive advantage

    (depending on the jurisdiction)
Does Canada implement it?

 Sustainable procurement - requires wider application
 by authorities
Canadian Public Procurement
Policies
 1986 - Federal Contractors Program
  - ensuring non-discrimination
  - complemented the Federal Employment
  Equity Act
 1996 Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern
  Development announced procurement measures
  - increase the participation of aboriginal businesses in
  bidding for federal government contracts
Sustainable Procurement in
Canada
 Driving force was
 - an international
 momentum towards
 greener purchasing
 - worldwide demand for
 environmentally
 preferable products and
 services
Federal Government’s response

 2005 – founded Office of Greening
  Government Operations (OGGO)
 2006 - OGGO developed Policy on Green
  Procurement
  - requires all government bodies to develop green
  procurement targets
 Most governmental bodies developed green
  procurement policies, but to what degree?!
Provincial and Local Governments

 Focus on different stages
 Education and support
  - involving non-governmental partners
  - stakeholders
  - charities to promote learning
 Emphasis on specific products/services
Provincial and Local Governments
The Green Procurement
Community of Practice (GP COP)
 Provides a forum for government purchasing staff
 Connect experts and practitioners and
 Create a collaborative and cooperative learning
  environment
 Does such forums provide needed informational and
  other types of support to governmental officials in
  sustainable procurement?
The city of Vancouver
 Initiated pre-procurement
  - actions purchaser takes prior to issuing a tender for
  a particular product or service.
  - involves engagement with businesses; a two-way
  exchange of information
 General principle:
  - engage local businesses and inform the City about
  their sustainable products and technologies
  - help businesses learn about the City’s
  future and current green technology needs
Halifax Regional Municipality
 Sustainable Procurement Collaboration Initiative
 Focuses on:
  - creating cross-departmental coordination team
  - enabling collaboration with vendors and community
 Successes in sustainable procurement :
  - EcoLogo; certified cleaning products
  - environmentally preferable office
    supplies
  - recyclable batteries
  - refurbishment etc.
’Green’ Procurement vs.
Sustainable Procurement

                      an umbrella
     Sustainable       approach
    Procurement    [social +environmental
                            issues]
’Green’ Procurement vs.
Sustainable Procurement
 Does this umbrella approach actually work
  when it comes to concrete purchasing decisions?
 What is the understanding of terminology and its
  application by authorities?
 Are there cases of conflicting requirements from
  green procurement standards and those procurement
  standards related to other social goals, such as for
  example labor rights?
Conclusion
 Market Confusion and Sustainable Procurement
 Challenges with Sustainable Procurement:
  - Financial
  - Lack of benchmark tools
  - Resistance to change
 Minimizes impact on the environment
 In accord with 3R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
