New: We're making it easier for public sector buyers to choose devices based on eco certifications. View the certifications on our portal, or on our latest AoG Catalogue by requesting a copy.

What are broader outcomes
and what do they mean for the public sector buyers?

Part of the NZ Government Procurement Rules, broader outcomes are the secondary benefits that are generated from procurement activity. ​They can be environmental, social, economic or cultural benefits. 
​Priority outcomes for the New Zealand government include:
Vertical Divider

Increase New Zealand businesses' access to government procurement...

Vertical Divider

Improve conditions for workers and future-proof the ability of New Zealand businesses to trade...

Support the transition to a net zero emissions economy and assist the government to meet its goal of significant reduction in waste...

Supplier-specific broader outcomes and additional benefits

We have compiled the following information for agencies, and suppliers to government agencies on how The Laptop Company helps deliver broader outcomes goals with Microsoft Surface.  We also provide reporting data for agency broader outcomes reporting.
Picture
The Laptop Company is a wholly New Zealand owned and operated business.
We work with our partners to achieve Broader Outcomes for the environment, for workers and to create new opportunities in the digital economy for New Zealanders.  We are working to provide better access to information about manufacturers we represent so you can make more sustainable choices. ​We're also working to make our own operations more sustainable.

Packaging

The majority of devices we supply are packaged in uncoated cardboard for easier recycling.  We encourage the use of recycled fibres in product packaging.  We recommend devices that do not use expanded polystyrene packaging, as this cannot be readily recycled within New Zealand.  Bulk packaging is available to fleet buyers for selected brands and models.  This reduces the amount of packaging waste per device, and the shipping volume for each device, to reduce transport-related emissions.  Enquire with your account manager for availability from the factory.
We also offer an optional packaging recovery and recycling service for bulk delivered devices.

​For public sector agencies, the proportion of recyclable packaging for each computer product is disclosed on Gen 3 quotations, our latest catalogues and on our online product information portal.

Freight

Sea freight can save as much as 97% in CO₂ equivalent emissions compared to air freight between the factory and New Zealand.  To reduce transport related emissions, we offer sea freight as a delivery option.  We also offer the option of bulk freight between our warehouses and your organisation, reducing freight movements and road traffic within New Zealand.

Environmental certifications

We disclose essential ECO information about each of the computer products we supply to government in our quotations, catalogues and on our online product information and procurement portal.  This includes the Eco certifications achieved by each product, and the percentage of recyclable packaging used for each device.   This is in addition to comprehensive device specifications.
We use this information to collate and providing reporting information for agencies on their purchasing habits.

From the factory

We have complied environmental and sustainability declarations and certifications published by our core vendors for your reference.  
​
The Laptop Company represents tier-one brands that provide transparency about their product design, sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, supply chain, and recycling practises.  ​We also provide active sourcing capability for fleet buyers who are seeking to improve the sustainability of end-user devices, or who are seeking to compare data from competing certification programmes.

Product Stewardship

Our commitment to the environment is long-term.  At the end of each device's usable life we provide the option of recovery for e-Waste recycling, or remanufacturing and provision to charities and high-needs organisation.  At eventual the end of product life, we use a New Zealand based ISO 14001: 2015 certified recycling service with a target recovery rate of more than 90%.
Devices with a second usable life are securely wiped to NZISM standards to protect your information upon decommissioning.
