Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
All purchase orders originate within a department and are then routed through a centralized, online procurement purchasing platform. The products identified as EPEAT are tagged by the supplier and visible in the vendor catalog. That tag is conveyed to our reporting system, which collects and tracks all EPEAT items purchased. All unclassified items are identified, and procurement works with the respective supplier to determine if there is any applicable EPEAT ranking.
We purchase computers and laptops exclusively from Dell and Apple. Dell designs and engineers its products to help prevent pollution and conserve natural resources throughout the system's life. Reducing the environmental impact of Dell products begins at the design stage. Cross-functional product design teams work to make thoughtful and effective decisions that will have positive environmental results throughout the equipment’s life cycle.
We purchase multi-function printers from Ricoh USA and Eastern Managed Print Networks.
Facilities Services sets the standard for buying green. The systems we purchase are Lead-Free, RoHS Compliant, EPEAT registered, and Energy Star® certified.
