This sub-category covers the management of IT, AV, and personal devices across their full lifecycle. Topics may include:
-
Sustainable procurement of laptops, desktops, and AV kit
-
Extending device lifespan through repair, reuse, and refurbishment
-
Recycling and responsible disposal of ICT equipment
-
Procurement frameworks and supplier initiatives for IT
-
Tracking embodied carbon in end-user devices
This space complements HPC & Cloud Services (large-scale computing) and Data Storage & Governance (data management). It also links closely with Supply Chain & Circularity, since devices are part of procurement, reuse, and circular economy practices.
