  1. You Have Your Supply Chain Footprint, Now What? Moving Forward with Sustainable Purchasing at PCC Presented by Briar Schoon, Interim Sustainability Manager Portland Community College

  2. About PCC • Largest higher educational institution in the state of Oregon • PCC has 10 campuses and centers throughout the Portland-metro area • Approximately 90,000+ students • 3205 staff and faculty members • Collectively, our square footage combined is slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island.

  3. PCC GHG Targets • Reduce emissions from 2006 levels: • 10% by 2012; • 40% by 2030; and • 80% by 2050

  4. GHG Calculator Good Company's G3C calculator

  5. Supply Chain Emissions The scale of greenhouse gas emissions from supply chain can be quite large.

  6. Supply Chain Methodology Organize procurement data into 15-20 major categories for analysis

  7. Supply Chain Methodology The EIO-LCA online tool is available for free and assists in converting economic activity through dollars spent into GHG emissions. The tool and more information about it can be found at the following website: http://www.eiolca.net Utilize the Economic Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment (EIO-LCA) method to find the CO2e-intensity for each of those categories.

  8. The EIO-LCA tool

  9. Supply Chain Methodology

  10. Supply Chain Emissions

  11. FY13 GHG Hotspots

  12. Moving Forward • Two questions: • How to promote sustainable purchases in a complex and diverse organization like PCC? • How to account for sustainable purchases in GHG inventory?

  13. Supply Chain GHG Inventory More specific supply chain GHG inventory • Emission intensities specific to Oregon-consumption patterns • Developed by David Allaway with Oregon DEQ • Three-region consumption model

  14. Accounting for EPP • Emissions Intensities for sustainable purchases • Environmental Paper Network – Paper Calculator • EPA Recycled Content (Recon) Tool

  15. Administrative Assistants • Working with admins to promote EPP • Product-specific Green Office Supplies Purchasing Guide

  16. Tracking EPP • Working with Office Max to highlight green products & track purchases • EPA’s ReCon tool to identify GHG savings from recycled content purchases.

  17. District Student Council • Sustainable purchasing with the District Student Council • 2nd largest purchaser at PCC • Drafted policy & criteria with students • Plans to develop product & service-specific sustainable purchasing guide • To be implemented next academic year

  18. Sustainability in RFPs • Sustainability language and criteria in RFPs and college-wide contracts • Successfully modeled for the first time in our waste hauling invitation to bid last month • Infused sustainability throughout ITB • About 30% of award criteria

  19. Sustainable Procurement Organizations • Working with organizations focused on sustainable procurement • Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council • West Coast Government Purchasing for Climate Protection Workgroup • Healthy Purchasing Coalition in OR

  20. Future Goals • Other avenues we will be exploring… • Sustainable purchasing 101 guide • What, why, how • Training for purchasers & p-card holders • Videos to compliment current training • In person sessions • Working with other large vendors to get data • Stats on EPP • Product-specific data

  21. Challenges • Looking for strategies and solutions to address: • Measuring success- how good is good enough? • Calculating GHG savings associated with sustainable purchases

  22. Questions? • Thank you! • Briar Schoon, Interim Sustainability Manager Briar.schoon@pcc.edu 971-722-8322
