The new modular solution helps companies reduce up to 35% of device-related IT costs while improving ROI and decreasing their carbon footprint from day one.
Lenovo has introduced its new service, TruScale Device as a Service (DaaS) for Sustainability, an all-inclusive, modular solution that redefines device lifecycle management through a circular, intelligent, and sustainable approach. This model enables organizations to lessen their environmental impact, modernize their tech infrastructure, and optimize return on investment without any upfront spending.
Backed by over 15 years of asset recovery expertise and more than one million responsibly retired devices, TruScale DaaS for Sustainability combines devices, services, and financing under a scalable subscription, designed to align technological performance with corporate sustainability goals.
Circularity from Design: A New Era for Corporate IT
Lenovo’s solution responds to the growing pressure faced by CIOs: balancing performance and sustainability. As John Stamer, Vice President of Global Product Services, states, “TruScale DaaS for Sustainability reflects our vision of a future where IT is inherently circular, designed to be smart, and results-driven.”
This new approach includes tools for each phase of the device lifecycle, such as:
- Carbon Impact Portal: real-time data on carbon impact per device, useful for ESG reporting.
- Certified Refurbished Devices: reducing renewal costs and environmental footprint.
- CO₂ Offset Services: neutralizing the device lifecycle through verified climate actions.
- Asset Recovery: secure removal of equipment and recovery of residual value.
Measurable Financial and Environmental Outcomes
The benefits of TruScale DaaS extend beyond ecological impacts, with various studies and implementations confirming its efficacy:
- Up to 35% savings in device-related IT costs.
- 20% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO), according to Lenovo estimates.
- Savings of 10% to 40% in IT maintenance tasks.
- 100% ENERGY STAR® certification for all Lenovo commercial laptops and desktops, and 98% for monitors.
A notable example is Coventry University Group, which replaced its technology infrastructure with Lenovo TruScale DaaS, offsetting 223 tons of CO₂ and saving 40 hours weekly in IT support work. The result was more efficient service delivery and an improved experience for students and staff.
An AI-Guided Ecosystem
Lenovo enhances this approach with tools like LISSA (Lenovo Intelligent Sustainability Solutions Advisor) and Care of One™, leveraging AI to plan sustainable refresh strategies, customize configurations, and improve employee experience.
The solution covers five lifecycle phases: Advise, Implement, Support, Manage, and Retire or Renew, ensuring full traceability of economic and environmental impacts.
According to Rakshit Ghura, Lenovo’s VP of Digital Solutions, “IT sustainability must add value, not complexity. TruScale DaaS for Sustainability enables informed decision-making from day one, reducing waste, emissions, and costs.”
Ready for a Zero-Waste Future
In line with its sustainability and circular economy commitments, Lenovo continues to expand its TruScale platform, trusted by millions of managed devices worldwide. This new variant highlights that sustainability is not only an ethical obligation but a measurable and scalable competitive advantage.
