A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
Bowdoin's IT department only purchases EPEAT Gold and Silver rated computers unless there is a specific need for specialized equipment which has no EPEAT certified option. In the most recent fiscal year (11-12) we purchased 100% EPEAT Gold. We also consider the power ratings (if available) when purchasing items such as monitors. In order to reduce waste and save money, we do not necessarily replace a monitor when replacing a computer, but if a new monitor is needed we do factor in energy efficiency when purchasing. For laptops, when possible we also provide laptop cases that are made from recycled or recyclable materials.
