The uses of resources, materials and production of office waste have also been explored within the theme of environmental office performance. This is an area that intersects with sustainable procurement for administrative functions, and with the carbon neutrality goal. Due to the complexity of the reporting task - including materials use, water withdrawal, waste production, direct energy use and overall CO2 emissions – the focus of this year’s report is on agencies that stand out due to their sustainability and environmental management. Several best practice examples are highlighted below. • ITC has moved towards environmental management by switching to 100% recycled paper and monitoring water and energy consumption. In <strong>2008</strong>, having commissioned a study on energy efficiency, they reduced their energy consumption by 25% by adjusting heating/cooling parameters. Water withdrawal and energy consumption are also monitored by INSTRAW, UNOG and UNIDO. • UNOG is using recycled paper and paper derived from sustainably managed forests; it is part of the Geneva Lac Nations Project to reduce energy needed to refrigerate using water from Lake Geneva; it has modified burners to decrease CO 2 emissions; and it has installed solar panels to heat water in lavatories. • UNIDO is also using 100% recycled paper as office and toilet paper; 60% of its energy consumption comes from renewable sources, including the solar panels installed at the entrance of the office building. • An indicator that has created challenges in reporting is that of waste production and management. However, UNOG, UNIDO and UNU have been able to track their waste production. UNIDO has reached the level of 68% in recycling of its waste production. This is the first <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Statistical</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on UN Procurement to include a section on sustainability reporting. The main objective for future reporting is to increase the amount of information received, involving a higher number of agencies and improving data quality. The sustainability report will also reinforce coordination with other existing UN programmes that share its objectives and partly also its tools, such as the UN Global Compact or the Sustainable UN initiative. While acknowledging its limitations, the current report sends a clear signal to the international community, UN suppliers, the market at large, and finally to civil society and all our stakeholders. 14 | <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Statistical</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on United Nations Procurement
About the report Background The first <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Statistical</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on UN Procurement in respect of operational activities, prepared by the Inter-Agency Procurement Services Office (IAPSO) of the United Nations Development Programme, was submitted to the 39th session of the General Assembly (Doc. A/39/417) in 1984. By resolution 39/220 the General Assembly established the need for recurrent reporting of such information on operational activities and encouraged organizations of the UN system to co-operate with IAPSO in this important exercise. Since <strong>2008</strong> the report has been compiled by UNOPS. Methodology <strong>Statistical</strong> data on procurement of goods and services and the personnel components for operational activities are requested from UN organizations. To facilitate collection and compilation of the large amount of data, UNOPS provides pro-forma tables available from the UNGM website, together with instructions for completing the reporting requirements. The <strong>2008</strong> report compiles information supplied by 32 UN organizations (of which 31 provided procurement data and only 10 personnel data). UNOPS relies entirely on the co-operation of the reporting entities. In general, response rates were satisfactory and data quality has improved with the use of better reporting tools. Five UN entities did not provide data for <strong>2008</strong>. Whereas previous reports distinguished between UNDP procurement under NEX (National Execution) and DEX (Direct Execution) and procurement by UNDP Headquarters, the new format reports on UNDP procurement as a whole. Data on goods are reported based on countries of supply and on services based on locations of contractors’ head office. Moreover, procurement orders and contracts for services are reported by contract amount and not by expenditure incurred. Most UN agencies cannot at the present time report data based on country of origin of goods, or on actual expenditures. 15 | <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Statistical</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on United Nations Procurement
