Objective:
Sustainable procurement of desktop and portable computers

Stockholm identified IT as a priority area to be addressed in this procurement due to the high risk of human and labour rights, as well as IT being an energy consuming product category. Tender specifications included provisions that encouraged innovation in terms of reducing use of hazardous substances, inclusion of recycled content where possible, and creating products with low environmental impact across lifecycles.
