Leading by Example
Through the Government House in Order initiative, the Government of Nova Scotia is reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations.
There are three main focuses to this initiative:
- Sustainable Procurement—these are policies that guide us when choosing transportation, buildings, IT and communications equipment, and food catering and vending
- ReThink—this program encourages government employees to reduce energy use, greenhouse gases and office waste
- Building retrofits and upgrades—when it’s time to do work on any provincially owned buildings, we seek energy efficiency retrofits
