“Environment Canada's scientists and other authors, want assurances that their print products adhere to the best available environmental procedures and practices; in turn, the department's clients - business, industry, educators, non-government organizations, parliamentarians and the general public - expect these same products to demonstrate the federal government's commitment to environmental leadership. By incorporating Environmental ChoiceM Program requirements into Requests for Proposals, I ensure, with minimum effort, that the department maintains standards of environmental excellence for paper and lithographic services thanks to continuous independent verification by a respected and publicly recognized certification program.”
