Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
By time of STARS 2022 submission, only electronics purchasing data available within last three years was for FY21 summarized at high level for only two vendors - Apple and Dell.

Reported EPEAT-Gold spend reflects Apple products (MacBook Pro/Air, iPad, iMac), except peripherals, and Dell displays.

Detailed model data for Dell laptops/notebooks and desktops was not available. Even though we know many Dell products are EPEAT certified at various levels, no estimates are made for the STARS submittal.
