Existence of an implementation plan to reduce GHG emissions		Yes: Completed March 2012

Strategies/Comments

Scope: Targeted emissions sources include the CBSA facilities and fleet.
Emissions sources excluded from GHG inventory: No exclusions.
Change to the CBSA GHG reduction target: There have been no changes to the reduction target since it was established in RPP 2011-2012.
Base year adjustments: Base year has been recalculated due to the acquisition of the Rigaud Learning Centre from PWGSC (+1130 t CO2e) and the re-classification of Fortune, NFLD to a Section 6 site (-4 t CO2e).
Anticipated increase of emissions: Emissions are expected to increase this fiscal year due to the construction of new facilities with larger footprints and the transfer of five ports of entry in the Atlantic Region (+999 CO2e).
GHG management strategy: The CBSA continues to maintain a GHG inventory and management strategy for custodial facilities and the Agency’s fleet. This inventory provides insight into the Agency’s energy consumption and cost trends and identifies where cost saving and GHG reduction measures should be implemented.
Key components of GHG reduction plan:
- Energy audits and retrofit implementation in selected facilities;
- Utilize Natural Resource Canada’s, Federal Building Initiative at the Rigaud Learning Centre.
- Implement a lighting standard for new construction and major renovation projects;
- Completion of a fleet utilization review;
- Increase the purchase of hybrid, electric and ultra-compact vehicles;
- Address plug-load energy consumption through employee awareness and the purchase of energy-efficient equipment.
Additional Information:

Overall GHG intensity of the CBSA facilities (in CO2e/m2) decreased by 7.5% from 2005-2006 through 2011-2012.

	2012-2013	100%* (applies to CBSA-owned equipment)
	2013-2014	100%* (applies to CBSA-owned equipment)

Strategies/Comments

Scope: Electronic and electric waste is defined as all surplus electronic and electrical assets/materiel that have reached the end of its useful life. This includes all information technology, laboratory, security, telecommunication, audio-visual and office equipment as well as all other equipment powered by electricity.
Definition and number of locations:
- For the purposes of measurement, “CBSA locations” are all facilities with network connectivity. This represents 319 locations, including ports of entry, inland enforcement offices, headquarters and regional offices.
- *Electronic equipment located within headquarters accounts for approximately 33 percent of all electronic equipment used within the CBSA. Regionally located electronic equipment is owned and managed by the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of the Agency.
- For the purposes of this target, “fully implemented” is defined by the presence of the CBSA Policy on Disposal of Surplus Materiel Assets, including electronic and electric waste, which is accessible to all employees.
Security considerations: Information, Science and Technology Branch is arranging for sanitization of the information technology asset.
Process to track EEE:
- In headquarters, the Information Technology Asset Inventory tracks disposal records of headquarters electronic waste.
- Each regional/district materiel manager maintains disposal records, and responds to reporting requests from headquarters.
Streams used for reusing or recycling: The CBSA ensures that all surplus materiel assets are disposed in accordance with the Federal Electronic Waste Strategy and Treasury Board Secretariat Directive on Disposal of Surplus Materiel and makes use of the following mechanisms:
- Computers for Schools;
- Crown Assets Distribution Centres;
- Donation or transfer to other qualifying organizations;
- Provincial Extended Producer Responsibility Programs;
- Other waste programs (e.g. Departmental Individual Standing Offer).

Printing Unit Reduction Target

8.7 By March 31, 2013, the CBSA will achieve an 8:1 average ratio of office employees to printing units. The CBSA will apply the target where building occupancy levels, security considerations, and space configuration allow.
Performance Measures		RPP	DPR
Target Status
Ratio of CBSA office employees to printing units in fiscal year 2010-2011, where building occupancy levels, security considerations and space configuration allow		3:1
Ratio of CBSA office employees to printing units at the end of the given fiscal year, where building occupancy levels, security considerations and space configuration allow	2011-2012	3.5:1
	2012-2013	8:1
	2013-2014	8:1

Strategies/Comments

Definition: “Printing units” include all stand-alone and network printers (LAN printers), multifunctional devices, faxes, scanners and photocopiers.
Scope: To reduce the reporting and simplify tracking of this target, the CBSA has scoped all buildings, space configurations and employees. While some buildings may have a smaller ratio due to building occupancy or security considerations, the CBSA will meet this target for all employees.
Performance measurement:
- The number of printers is determined by the Printing Unit Inventory;
- The number of office employees is available in the Human Resource Staffing Reports;
- All the office employees (i.e. headquarters and regions) are subjected to the target.
Reporting requirements: Information Technology Asset Inventory will track the average ratio of office employees to printing units.
Stakeholder roles and responsibilities:
- Senior management ensures sustainable development guidelines are communicated and endorsed within the CBSA.
- Information Technology Shared Services Management Division is leading the Device Rationalization Initiative;
  - Development of awareness material will outline efficiencies and opportunities to ensure that the target ratio is met and sustained, while enabling employees to have the appropriate tools for the job.
- Managers ensure requests for new devices are accompanied with business rationale/justification, and ensure disposable items (such as paper and print cartridges) are recycled.
- Information technology procurement officers ensure devices are purchased with environmentally-friendly considerations.
- Information technology support ensures that devices are configured to take advantage of environmentally-friendly settings, and ensures end-of-life equipment is disposed of in a secure and environmentally-friendly manner.
Plan for engagement:
- Strategic Review of all information technology devices indicated an opportunity to reduce the number of devices in use within the CSBA. This reduction has begun in 2011–2012 and will be accomplished through a reduction in ever-greening (end-use renewal) of aging equipment. It is anticipated that the Agency will be able to reduce the number of printers within the organization by 3,100.
- The Device Rationalization Initiative is targeting stand-alone and network printers as well as laptops in Phase I and faxes, scanners and photocopiers in Phase II.
- Multifunctional devices are being considered as an option for printer, photocopier, scanner and fax replacement.
- Approaches to greening information technology will be factored into asset management practices with an aim to reduce the overall environmental footprint.

Paper Consumption Target
