Description: |
In July 2008, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) became the first transit authority in Canada to adopt and implement a Green Procurement Policy (GPP) and Program with the support of Five Winds International. By further integrating environmental considerations into the products and services it acquires, the TTC has been positioning itself as a leader in Green Procurement in North America, and globally in the transit sector.
Since implementation of the GPP, the TTC has received a considerable amount of recognition for its efforts to promote sustainable development. Most notably, the TTC was featured in the March/April 2010 issue of Summit, Canada's magazine on public sector purchasing, in an article titled Driving Sustainable Transit in Canada through Green Procurement. In October 2010, the TTC was awarded the 2010 Leadership in Green Procurement Award at the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Public Procurement Council (CPPC) in Ottawa, Ontario.
Today, we are pleased to announce that the TTC was recognized with a second award for its Green Procurement Policy and Program at the Canadian Urban Transit Association's (CUTA) Annual Conference in Regina, Saskatchewan. The Innovation Award, one of the 2011 CUTA Corporate Recognition Awards, was designed to highlight successes and achievements related to the introduction, development and use of successful innovative techniques at the organizational level.
