The UK government published the 'IT Reuse for Good Charter' on October 2, 2026. The charter requires organisations and public bodies to express their interest and commit to a 'reuse first' approach to IT assets.
The charter is a policy paper issued by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It encourages responsible resource utilization and sustainability in technology deployment.
The charter applies to organisations and public bodies involved in IT asset management and digital inclusion. It aims to help close the digital divide.
The material does not specify a deadline or transitional period for compliance with the charter.
