This oftenmeans prioritizing projects that willsignificantly reduce theorganization’s footprint, offeringhigh value to offset the requiredinvestment.When leaders set out to createthese high-impact sustainabilitystrategies, there are severalcommon initial targets, includingdata centers, vehicle fleets, andoffice spaces. For many businesses,one or more of these will representa large proportion of their carbonfootprint, and each has thepotential to dramatically reduceemissions.However, there’s one majorcontributor that is often overlookedand that relies less on large upfrontinvestments and more on smallchanges and decisions that combineto create a huge impact: end-userdevices and how employees usethem.The drive towardnet zero –and the impact ofemployee devicesThis guide explores how organizations can better understand andmitigate the impact of employee devices and behavior on theiroverall emissions – and why addressing their digital carbon footprintis so valuable.Click here or press enter for the accessibility optimised versionThe importance of devicesMost employees will be equipped with at least one companydevice, whether they’re a desk-based worker with a laptopor out in the field with a ruggedized tablet. In a largeorganization, this means thousands of devices in regular useevery day.And while the carbon footprint of each of these devices maybe small, they have a substantial collective impacton emissions.As a device moves through the cycle from manufacturing tousage to decommissioning, it contributes to Scope 1, 2, and3 emissions in various ways. As it shifts from OEMs to ITteams to employees, its role in the company’s footprintchanges, and so do the best practices formanaging its emissions.Employeedevices are akeyconsiderationfor anysustainabilitystrategyMinimizing the carbon impact ofdevices requires a holistic viewand a collective effort from thebusiness – beginning at initialprocurement.Click here or press enter for the accessibility optimised versionThe role of OEMsOEMs are a crucial starting point foran organization’s devicesustainability strategy, largelybecause most of a device’semissions are released before it’seven used.One study of desktop computersand monitors showed that around85% of the device’s emissions weregenerated during manufacture andshipping, even after six years ofdaily use.At the moment, this stage simplydoesn’t factor into mostorganizations’ decision-making.
