End-user devices make up a significant portion of IT’s overall carbon footprint (Scopes 2 and 3) and waste production within most enterprises. With the rapid acceleration of digital business across the globe, the demand for corporate endpoints and peripherals is continuing to grow at exponential rates. As a consequence, managing the environmental sustainability of end-user equipment is increasingly becoming a core responsibility and priority for IT leaders.

Poor choices around end-user device selection and governance can inhibit sustainability goal achievement and waste valuable resources. IT leaders with targets to reduce the environmental impact of end-user devices must rationalise, retain and restructure the lifecycle strategy of end-user devices.

We believe IT leaders can use this research from Gartner to guide decisions at every stage of the device life cycle to promote the full utilisation and circularity of endpoints.
