Disclaimer:

This analysis is based on publicly available information, including vendor’s official statements, product specifications, and independent third-party benchmarks where applicable. While we may have referenced data from the vendor’s corporate announcements and external performance reviews, this report does not constitute an endorsement of the vendor’s claims, nor does it independently verify all sustainability and performance metrics.

Key sustainability assertions, such as the use of recycled and renewable materials, are based on vendor’s or third-party disclosures, and while these figures reflect corporate sustainability initiatives, they have not been audited by an independent third-party environmental certification body within the scope of this analysis. Performance metrics referenced from benchmark studies, such as CrossMark ratings, come from external testing firms but may not represent real-world performance across all user scenarios.

Buyers and stakeholders—including IT procurement teams, IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers, and sustainability-focused enterprises—should conduct independent due diligence when evaluating the products reviewed by Compliance Standards LLC. This includes assessing total cost of ownership (TCO), repairability policies, recyclability logistics, and long-term software support to align with their specific needs and sustainability objectives.

Additionally, given the rapid evolution of enterprise IT hardware and sustainability standards, this analysis is subject to change based on future developments, regulatory shifts, and independent third-party evaluations that may emerge after publication. (Disclaimer update on March 5, 2025)
