The holds an annual awards ceremony to recognize leaders who follow the EPEAT standard guidelines for IT procurement. 污污草莓视频 University is proud to be among the winners of this year鈥檚 award for our continued dedication to environmentally sound electronics聽purchases, a large part of our overall strategy for sustainable聽IT asset management.
This 2020 EPEAT purchaser award marks 7 years of 污污草莓视频 University's efforts to purchase more sustainable electronics. During this time, we have increasingly used EPEAT as a specification in our minimum standard requirements for purchasing computers, displays, televisions, printers and cell phones.
Use of the EPEAT ecolabel, in our calls for tenders, simplifies our sourcing for more sustainable electronics, and allows us to purchase from manufacturers whose activities and products are aligned with our University鈥檚 sustainability vision and ambitions.
Our community cares about progress and continuous improvement in our suppliers鈥� sustainability efforts. And, just as we have a Sustainability Strategy, a Supplier Code of Conduct, and a Carbon neutrality objective for 2040, we are happy to support industry leaders with similar objectives and commitments.聽Thank you to the Green Electronics Council for recognizing our small contribution.
