A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
The SOU IT Department has selected vendors who have demonstrated a commitment to green purchasing in general and EPEAT, specifically. Dell currently has 198 products registered with EPEAT, all but 46 of them at silver or gold levels. Apple currently has 33 products registered, all at silver and gold levels.
Our "standard" models for PC desktop and notebook purchases are gold (Dell Optiplex 380, Dell Latitude 64xx). Likewise, our standard for Mac desktop and notebook purchases are gold (Macbook, Macbook Pro, iMac 21").
All models of Dell monitors purchased are silver or gold certified (non-certified models are not available from Dell).
All computer purchasing is handled centrally, so the SOU it Department can ensure that all machines are EPEAT certified prior to purchase.
