Reporting on green procurement

This supplementary information table supports reporting on green procurement activities in accordance with the Policy on Green Procurement.

Context

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) is bound by the Federal Sustainable Development Act but did not develop an optional 2022–23 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy (DSDS) Report. Instead, to comply with the reporting requirements under the Policy on Green Procurement for 2022 to 2023, the Reporting on Green Procurement supplementary information table was prepared and listed in the 2022–23 Departmental Results Report.

Commitments

Greening government: The Government of Canada will transition to low carbon, climate-resilient, and green operations.
