The scenario

Pat leads IT & procurement at Bright & Roos, a 240-person Amsterdam consultancy with a 2030 carbon-reduction target. The laptop fleet is due for refresh — 100 machines plus docks and monitors — and the company's circular purchasing policy says: consider certified second-life options before buying new.

Hi,

We're refreshing laptops for our consultants — around 100 machines plus docks and monitors, spec in the attached sheet. Per our sustainability policy, certified refurbished is preferred if the quality holds up; include a buy-new comparison so we can defend the decision.

Thanks,

Pat
