LENOVO TRUSCALE DAAS FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Scaling up With sustainability becoming ever more important, in August Lenovo launched TruScale DaaS for Sustainability, a modular solution to help organisations reduce their carbon footprint and help them shift to a circular economy.
For many businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as reduce costs, the IT suite is a major factor.

To this end, in August Lenovo launched its TruScale DaaS for Sustainability, which is designed to cut device-related costs by up to 35%, without upfront capital. TruScale DaaS for Sustainability is built on Lenovo’s already popular and successful TruScale DaaS platform. “It’s a modular service that allows companies to hit different sustainability goals by bringing in different aspects of the service,” says James Pennington, Lenovo’s global sustainability services director. “One aspect is a completely new
service for us and something we’re going to continue to innovate on going forward, which is our carbon impact portal. This means customers get a full readout of the carbon impact of all their devices, including in the manufacturing, the use of devices, any certification is all in there in one place, which makes it easy for customers to report on their emissions and carbon footprint. “Also, for the first time, we’re bringing in certified refurbished devices into a deal as well, which means a company can decide to have a percentage of refurbished devices as part of their TruScale fleet.” Refurbished devices are those that are taken back from the field, then given a thorough service, including new parts, to bring it back to showroom standard. “As an OEM Lenovo bring in certified parts, we have a very high
