Box 1: ICT Sustainability Plan – ES6 Extract Adoption by suppliers of an environmental management system (EMS) aligned to the ISO 14001 standard. Part 1 2 6/2011 .PART 1: GUIDELINES Introduction The Australian Government ICT Sustainability Plan 2010-2015 (ICT Sustainability Plan) introduces a number of strategies and actions aimed at assisting agencies to better manage the environmental performance and impacts of the information and communications technology (ICT) they procure and use. It introduces six mandatory environmental standards into ICT procurement processes to establish minimum levels of environmental performance for relevant ICT acquisitions. The supplier: when the system has been formally audited and verified by an a.au/procurement/procurement-policy-and-guidance/buying/index.

In some cases smaller suppliers have implemented ISO 14001 EMS at the request of larger companies so as to remain in the supply chain.

When does this standard apply Agencies are to apply this environmental standard in procurement processes and documentation from July 2010. ISO standards are published documents that set out specifications and procedures to ensure products.htm?csnumber=31807 .org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_ics/catalogue_detail_ics. Scope of ES6 in ICT procurement ES6 is relevant to ICT procurements covered by current Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) arrangements such as the Australian Government Telecommunications Arrangements (AGTA).8).
The way in which the requirements are included will depend on the type and method of ICT procurement being undertaken. As indicated earlier. ISO 14001 EMS certification Many organisations choose to proceed beyond alignment with the ISO 14001 standard to achieve certification of their EMS. are advised to research the process carefully in order to make an informed business decision about the benefits and costs of EMS certification. The agency must provide relevant information about its EMS to contractors.europa. Tender evaluation phase Agencies must ensure that evaluation criteria in the tender evaluation plan consider the following scenarios: Scenario 1 a) Prospective ICT suppliers that indicate they have current certification under ISO 14001:2004. Applying the standard in ICT procurement Agencies are required to incorporate ES6 into their ICT procurement processes when they approach the market for ICT products or services. These contractors and consultants are subject to requirements of an agency’s EMS. Part 1 4 6/2011 .

ISO 14001 certification of an organisation’s EMS is not a mandatory requirement for ICT suppliers under the Australian Government ICT Sustainability Plan 2010-2015.  draft contract. Agencies can advise prospective ICT suppliers of the ES6 requirements through information included in tender request documents such as:  conditions for participation.eu/environment/emas/index_en. The options outlined above must be considered during the different phases of the procurement process when engaging an ICT supplier. Organisations.

Scenario 3 a) Prospective ICT suppliers that indicate they do not have an EMS aligned to ISO 14001 will need to agree to align their business processes to the standard within six months of contract signing if they are successful in their bid. develop and implement an EMS aligned or certified to ISO 14001 within six months of contract signing ii. b) The “ISO 14001 EMS Checklist” that forms part of these Guidelines (see Part 2 below) will assist agencies with their assessment. Part 1 5 6/2011 . The EMS Checklist is set out as a series of questions for the agency to consider against information/documentation provided by the prospective ICT suppliers. Contract phase – negotiation. The contract must indicate that if the supplier is not EMS certified or aligned to ISO 14001 the supplier must: i. c) In some cases a prospective supplier may have had an EMS gap analysis by an external consultant against the ISO 14001 standard and choose not to proceed with a certification audit. implementation and review The contract must indicate that where the supplier is certified or aligned to ISO 14001. b) Agencies will need to make an initial evaluation as to whether the prospective supplier has the commitment and capability to meet this requirement within the six months. c) The agency may consider requiring the ICT supplier to sign a declaration indicating commitment to align business processes to ISO 14001 within six months. Agencies include a clause in contracts requiring the supplier to advise the agency if a change in the supplier’s EMS status is going to occur or occurs during the contract period. Scenario 2 a) Prospective ICT suppliers that indicate they are aligned to ISO 14001 must demonstrate this and the agency will need to assess them for compliance. The checklist can also act as guidance to ICT suppliers as to the operational requirements necessary to align to the ISO 14001 standard and comply with Environmental Standard 6. provide evidence of EMS development progress and implementation during agency/supplier contract meetings. maintain alignment/certification over the contract period. Enviro-MarkNZ (Diamond status)6 b) The supplier must provide current evidence of certification.co. 6Enviro-Mark NZ www. the EMS alignment or certification must be maintained to the ISO 14001 standard over the full contract period. and iii. d) Agencies may need to seek clarification from suppliers through follow-up questions where the evidence provided is insufficient.
