65+ million tonnes. That is how much electronic waste the world generated in a single year, and less than a quarter of it was formally collected and recycled. Every corporate tech refresh feeds this stream, and most companies still book it as a disposal cost.
Run as a donation program, the same equipment costs less to retire, qualifies for a tax deduction at fair market value, and produces avoided-emissions data you can use in Scope 3 reporting. The math is concrete: keeping one laptop in service avoids the 218 to 331 kg of CO2e it takes to manufacture a new one.
In this session, SustainableIT.org explains why IT has become the control point for enterprise sustainability. Then one company shows their work: what they spent, what they saved, and what went into board reporting. You leave with the ITAD Impact Playbook, a toolkit for measuring your current program, sorting donation-ready devices from recycling candidates, and building the one-page case your CFO asks for.
Key Takeaways:
- Hear SustainableIT.org's case for why IT operations have become the control point for corporate sustainability programs
- See the real numbers from NTT Data's own tech donation program: costs, tax benefit, emissions data, and what they put in front of their decision makers
- Walk away with the ITAD Impact Playbook: a measurement template, a device-sorting decision tree, and a one-page CFO brief you can fill in with your own data
