Impact of EO13514

• Section 13 of the EO requests Federal agencies to determine the

“…feasibility of working with Federal…contractor community to

provide information that will assist Federal agencies in tracking

and reducing… greenhouse gas emissions related to…services

to the Government”

• Section 2, paragraph b (i), requests that each agency consider

target reductions associated with “pursuing opportunities with

vendors and contractors to address and incorporate incentives to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions”

BLUF: It’s not just a Federal government issue…the executive order will

impact everyone and anyone working for/with any Federal agency



Impact of EO13514 (cont)

• What can it mean to non-government organizations?

– Requiring vendors and contractors to register with a voluntary

registry or organization for reporting GHG emissions

– Requiring contractors, as part of a new or revised registration under

the Central Contractor Registration or other tracking system, to

develop and make available its GHG inventory and description of

efforts to mitigate GHG emissions

– Using Federal Government purchasing preferences or other

incentives for products manufactured using processes that

minimize GHG emissions

Compliance with EO13514 will change the way we do business internally

and externally with our partners



The Sustainment System

• By using a systems approach to assess the

interrelationships and impacts of the EO requirements on

sustainability, the corporation can target high leverage

activities to maximize benefit early in the sustainability

cycle. The sustainability systems perspective integrates

system elements for: – Electricity Usage

– Commuting

– Business Travel

– Water Usage

– Paper Usage

– Waste Recycle Rate

– Electronic Stewardship

– Green Contracting

– Environmental Leadership and Planning

The Corporate System of

Systems

environmental sustainability challenge but also to the

broader issue resulting in organizational sustainability.

This larger systems perspective integrates system

management elements for: – Product and service improvement & delivery

– Risk

– Human capital

– Knowledge

– Facilities

– Logistics

– Corporate stewardship

– Corporate social responsibility
