A brief description of the published sustainability criteria for IT products and services:
The CIO and the Director of Information Technology shall ensure that all UC purchases of personal computing equipment and monitors that meets or is expected to meet EPEAT Bronze or above rating level whenever possible and feasible and within defined business requirements. All factors being equal, a preference will be given for Silver and/or Gold rated products.
For all computing equipment not currently rated according to EPEAT standards, such as computer servers, printers, routers, The CIO and the Director of Information Technology will seek to make equipment purchases that minimize levels of toxic components, ensure the highest level of energy efficiency, incorporate recycled content, facilitate end-of-life recycling, and minimize unnecessary packaging.
Necessary exemptions to this preference for EPEAT registered products may be made by the CIO and the Director of Information Technology, with the goal of allowing no more than 10% of purchase dollars in the product area(s) covered by the EPEAT rating system to be spent on non-EPEAT-registered products. Such exemptions may be allowed, for example, if no registered products meet the specific performance needs, or if the EPEAT registered product will not be cost-effective over the life of the product, etc.
