A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed:
The University switched to Enviro Solutions products in 2002; they are approved by both "Ecologo" and "Green Seal" criteria (ref. http://www.larose.ca/index_fra.html). The RFP for Building Services limits all departmental purchases for cleaning products for day-to-day maintenance in our buildings to only EcoLogo or Green Seal approved products. Many of the University's cleaning practices, as outlined in SOPs, conform to Green Seal requirements (eg. frequency and type of cleaning required of facilities, communication with clients, health and safety training for staff, purchasing recycled/recyclable products, etc.)
