Dear Michael

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 11 August 2019 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

I have a number of questions relating to Government Procurement Rule 20
(Transitioning to a net zero emissions economy and designing waste out of
the system) which is designed to reduce emissions and waste across the
public service (Priority Outcome 4).

 

On your Priority Outcome 4 webpage
([1]https://www.procurement.govt.nz/broader-...), three focus areas are
listed: Office supplies, Light vehicles, and Stationary/Process heating
systems.

 

Please provide information to answer the following questions:

 

1. What other areas does MBIE deem to come under the Rule 20?

 

2. If MBIE deems that Rule 20 does not apply to air travel by public
servants, reduction in use of plastic packaging, and procurement of
kitchen appliances, what other All-of-Government rule(s) governing these
three specific examples are you aware of?

 

3. Aside from Government fleet emissions, does MBIE monitor compliance
with Rule 20 by public agencies and, if so, what is the monitoring regime
involved?

 

4. What other MBIE reports are available on agency compliance with Rule
20, aside from Government fleet emissions?

 

5. What process does MBIE follow to help agencies improve their compliance
with Rule 20, if and when it is identified as deficient?

 

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [2][MBIE request email] or
using the contact details below.

 

 

Nāku noa, nā,
