About the BuySmart Network
The primary source of information and education on sustainability purchasing and green supply chains in Canada
Our goal: To build a movement and lead the adoption of environmental, social, and ethical supply chain best practices in business and government– Engage senior decision-makers to link supply chain with sustainability goals and drive this mandate
– Connect people and organizations to share stories of supply chain transformation

What is sustainability purchasing?
Buying supplies by taking into account:
Price, Quality, Availability
Functionality
Life Cycle environmental aspects
Social and ethical aspects
Why it’s important
Sustainability purchasing can minimize negative social and environmental impacts
associated with what we buy.
Sustainability purchasing vision
When buying and ordering, staff regularly thinks about:
What the products are made of Where the products come from Who has made the products How the products will be disposed of Whether the purchase needs to be made at all
Sustainability Purchasing in Fleet Management
Seeks to manage and acquire vehicles and fuels in a way that aims to reduce vehicle use, reduce fuel use, cut overall costs, minimize pollutants from vehicle emissions, and reduce the greenhouse gas impacts of vehicle and fuel selection as well as fleet use.

General Trends in Greening Fleets
PHH Arval Study Results
74% of respondents have been asked about environmental impacts by senior mgmt
21% have accelerated “green” initiatives in current economy, while only 9% have slowed
44% said cost was a barrier; however, 24% have been finding cost savings as they reduce emissions
63% have environmental goals for their fleet (ghg and mpg goals most common)
Only 40% are measuring ghg emissions; of those, 51% using actual fuel use as their measurement
Current economic climate providing opportunity to right-size fleet
Enlisting drivers to help with fleet environmental goals
Who’s getting serious
AT&T will spend >$500 million over next 10 years to deploy 15,000 alternative fuel vehicles
Frito-Lay has 300 CNG delivery trucks on the road and are adding 1,200 fuel-efficient Sprinter delivery vehicles
Eight major airlines at LAX to begin fueling ground service vehicles with synthetic biodiesel in 2012
Paris will launch network of 4,000 shared electric vehicles to reduce air pollution; Toronto is looking at a similar plan
US Postal Service adding 900 hybrid, 1,000 flex-fuel, and 4,600 four-cylinder vehicles to fleet
NYC has largest municipal fleet of alternative fuel vehicles in US (>3,000 hybrids); goal to reduce ghg emissions 30% by 2030
Fleet Procurement
Purchasing decisions moving away from fleet manager to purchasing/procurement groups
Companies adopting minimum mpg requirements in RFPs
Drivers demanding more green vehicles Pressures to extend fleet service vehicle
life, particularly with trucks Cap and trade legislation will incentivize
carbon reduction strategies

A Quick Look at Some Case Studies
Issue: Fleet Standardization, City of Abbotsford
“Lean Thinking” philosophy basis for initiative
Three-year fleet standard set for a certain vehicle class (pick-up trucks); no need to go to tender for each vehicle
Benefits: simplify stores, tooling, servicing, service technician training, operator training, fuels, streamline process to reduce repetitive inefficiencies
Work in collaboration with dealer/vendor to get value-add

Fleet Standardization Process
“Performance-based purchasing” vs. “Prescriptive purchasing” Vehicle specifications done based on needs assessment Used RFP vs. Tender to provide best overall value to City Two evaluation components
– 1st Phase: Determine the fleet standard pick-up based on lowest cost on each model in series that met the specification
– 2nd Phase: Determine preferred vender (with lowest dealer mark-up)
RFP allowed City to address the value-add, i.e. sustainability
Preferred vendor helps to maximize the City’s vehicle purchase (more features, incentive programs, factory closures, etc.)
Issue: Grey Fleet Travel
Grey fleets defined: When employees use their own vehicles for business travel
UK government estimates grey fleets account for approx 57% of total road mileage in public sector
Employee vehicles typically older with higher emission levels than leased or rental vehicles
Dept of Work and Pensions (DWP) independent review showed that staff travelled 70 million business miles (2006/2007)—45 million in grey fleets
Grey Fleets: DWP Initiative
New travel policy– Sets out clear “Travel Hierarchy” and encourages behaviour change re journey planning
– Establishes mandatory limits for grey fleet travel (<100 miles/day, <1,000 miles per year)
Provided vehicle alternatives Broad communication strategies and focused
campaigns to promote tele/video-conferencing, transit, pool cars
More rigorous assessment of expense claims Applies to all staff; senior management not exempt
Grey Fleets: DWP Results (2007/08)
Reduction of 9.5 million grey fleet miles (approx 20%)
Reduction of 3,000 tonnes grey fleet carbon emissions
Direct cost savings of £3.6 million (over $6.4 million CDN) in unused/unclaimed mileage
Indirect cost savings– Reduction in mileage claims processed– Minimization of lost work time through unnecessary travel

Measurement and Management: City of Hamilton
Green Fleet Implementation Plan approved in 2005– Linked to VISION 2020 Goals, Transportation Master Plan, and
Roadmap to Sustainability Central Fleet Advisory Committee is large and cross functional Phase 1, 2006-2008:
– Objectives: Improve fuel efficiency, reduce ghg emissions, mai ntain standing as a leader/demonstrate a “green” market exists
– Three principal tactics: greater use of hybrid vehicles, introduction of renewable fuels (i.e. biodiesel), reduction in engine idling
– Report to Council produced April 2009 Phase 2, 2009-2011
– Revised goal: Decrease ghg emissions per km travelled by 2% per year
Hamilton: Green Fleet Implementation Program Phase 1 Results, 2006-2008
Action Target Result Actual ResultIncrease use of hybrids
46 new vehicles 105 new vehicles
Hybrid ghg emissions Reduced 111 tonnes Reduced 210 tonnesUse biodiesel* 21.0 million litres
at 10%2.8 million litres at 5%
Biodiesel ghg emissions*
Reduces 3,892 tonnes Reduced 336 tonnes
*Market conditions in 2006 made price unaffordable Biodiesel only available in 5% blend instead of 10% anticipated in original plan Minimum 50,000 litre loads (a condition of supplier) only received at two City locations
City of Hamilton: Green Fleet at April 2009

Community GHG Tracking: Denver
Piloting the first internet based vehicular ghg management system
Provides a platform for measuring emissions, implementing reduction goals
Free program to participating Denver city employees and citizens
Two ghg measuring devices installed on vehicle, transmitting data to a “dashboard” on the system
Participants can easily track emissions and driving behaviour causing the emissions

Car Sharing: City of Philadelphia
City employees traded in vehicles for access to car share, with onboard tracking computers and automated reservation system
Results:– Reduced 330 vehicles from
fleet– Saved $1.8 million / year– Reduced “non-business” use– Increased transit use– No hindrance in ability to do
work– Attracting more non-City users
to car sharing
Fleet Management Goals:
• Reduce fleet size• Address culture of entitlement
• Allocate resources efficiently
• Cost reduction

Best Practices in Green Fleet Management
Best Practices Framework
Determine high level green fleet goals—must align with org’l sustainability goals
Create cross-functional team and decide who’d leading the initiative
Set policy and have it endorsed by senior mgmt Analyze current fleet to create a baseline and
identify areas of improvement Identify key stakeholders and have a plan for
managing their input into the initiative
Best Practices Framework (cont.)
Set medium- to long-term fleet management goals Develop and execute an implementation plan for each goal
– Timelines and milestones, staff responsibilities, financial impacts
– Ensure adequate resources available
Track and measure against baselines, and review progress with green team regularly
Report to senior mgmt; include successes as well as areas where goals were not met
Re-evaluate goals with input from senior management and green team
Policy: City of San Jose
Linked to Urban Environmental Accords commitment: 25% reduction in ghg’s by 2030 as well as Environmentally Preferable Procurement Policy
Secondary objectives to decrease fuel usage, total fuel costs, total cost of fleet ops per vehicle
Uses 2002-03 as baseline Green Fleet Team established Requires a complete vehicle inventory Strategies include optimizing fleet size,
reducing vehicle size, increase use of alternative fuels/equipment, best practices to minimize vehicle miles traveled
Aims to reduce other environmental impacts Annual reporting
