UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Planned initiatives Associated domestic “ambitions or targets or” and/or global targets
SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns

Green Procurement Strategy
Aims to reduce the environmental impact and ensure best value in government procurement decisions.

This planned initiative involves applying green procurement to all material and supplies purchased in day-to-day operations, giving preference to materials containing recycled and post-consumer content and certified by external environmental agencies like EcoLogo and EnergyStar. This action includes purchasing chlorine free and 100% recycled paper.

The target of this activity is aligned with the SDG 12 and aims that 80% of all material and supplies purchased by the Office meet green procurement criterion.

This activity contributes to advancing:

Canadian Indicator Framework ambition 12.3 Canadians consume in a sustainable manner; and,

UN Global target 12.5 “By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.”
