Agency-Level Stewardship
The Federal Electronics Challenge (FEC) supports efforts to continuously improve environmental stewardship of electronic assets government-wide, including: Executive Order 13514, the Office of Management and Budget Environmental Stewardship Scorecard, and the Federal Electronics Stewardship Working Group.
Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance
Executive Order (E.O.) 13514, "Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance," was signed by President Obama on October 5, 2009. The E.O. sets sustainability goals for the federal government in a number of areas, including electronics stewardship.
Office of Management and Budget Environmental Stewardship Scorecard
On January 25, 2006, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) introduced the Executive Management Scorecards for Environment, Energy and Transportation. The Environmental Stewardship Scorecard covers five areas, including "sustainable environmental stewardship of Federal Electronic Assets." The Scorecard employs a stoplight scoring system to track the progress and status of Departments and major Agencies in implementing statutory and Executive Order requirements in each area.
Federal Electronics Stewardship Working Group
The Federal Electronics Stewardship Working Group (FESWG) provides a forum for information exchange and coordinates interagency efforts to promote the electronics stewardship goals of E.O. 13514. The FESWG helps to develop policies, guidance, reporting metrics, and other documents and tools required by E.O. 13514. The FESWG also acts as an advisory board for the FEC. The FESWG, currently chaired by the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive, meets once a month.
