Book excerpt: The phrase greening government was coined by the Committee to describe the objective of ensuring environmental concerns are incorporated into all aspects of government policy, in terms of appraisal and development, as well as in operational aspects of departmental performance (such as recycling waste and reducing energy consumption). Following on from the Committee's previous report on the Greening Government Initiative (HCP 961, session 2002-03; ISBN 0215013786) (November 2003), this report focuses on the progress made during the period from April 2002 to March 2003. The Committee concludes that, although progress continues to be made in some areas, there is a perceptible loss of overall momentum, particularly in embedding sustainable development within government policy making.

Book excerpt: This is the Committee's eighth report on the sustainable operations on the Government estate. There has been some progress against targets but the Sustainable Development Commission has found that in 2007-08 the Government was not on track to meet its target for the reduction of carbon emissions from its own buildings. The Government was on track to meet its targets for recycling and for the sourcing of electricity from renewable sources, but it performed less well than it had in 2006-07. It must improve the sustainability of its operations each year. The ease with which the Government continues to meet some targets, even when its performance worsens, indicates the urgent need for the Government to set itself more stringent targets. The Government should extend the system of targets and monitoring beyond central government and agencies to the wider public sector, including its outsourced operations. The Government has the potential to drive change in the wider economy through sustainable procurement, through investment in low carbon technologies and by driving the development of "green" skills in the workforce. But the Sustainable Development Commission found that Government performed poorly against its own targets. The Government must use its buying power to drive progress towards a greener economy. Many of the changes to the governance of Government's sustainable operations have been confusing or ineffective. The Government must ensure that there is a clear line of accountability for these matters, and the Cabinet Office Minister responsible must take an active role in overseeing performance management.
