Mitsubishi HC Capital Group Embraces VAIO Refurbished Computers

In a significant move towards sustainability, Mitsubishi HC Capital Group has recently announced the incorporation of VAIO's refurbished PCs, known as "Reborn VAIO™," into their corporate environment. Starting from August 2025, the group plans to acquire a total of 280 units of these warranty-backed refurbished devices. Specifically, Mitsubishi HC Capital will utilize 200 of these PCs for employee terminal purposes, while IT Partners, a subsidiary, will employ the remaining 80 units for its workforce. This strategic decision not only reflects a commitment to operational efficiency but also aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 38.36 tons of CO2 equivalent.

VAIO, a brand that has been supporting mobile work since its inception, recognized a growing demand for sustainable options. In 2023, they launched a Certified Refurbished PC initiative aimed at individuals, providing a green alternative compared to newly manufactured devices. The Reborn VAIO offers a one-year manufacturer warranty and is meticulously restored by VAIO's certified facilities, ensuring compliance with their stringent quality standards. This initiative aligns with VAIO's mission to create comfortable and efficient work environments, empowering users to be productive and innovative.

The Reborn VAIO program is not just a product line; it represents a broader vision of sustainability within the tech industry. By purchasing used VAIO PCs from customers after their lease ends, VAIO refurbishes these devices through detailed inspection and necessary repairs, ensuring they meet the brand's high criteria for quality. This approach provides a unique opportunity for corporate customers to standardize their equipment, paving the way for consistent performance across their workforce.

Mitsubishi HC Capital Group's early adoption of the Reborn VAIO makes them the first corporate client to integrate this refurbished solution into their operations. As part of this collaboration, they will evaluate the user experience with the Reborn VAIO and provide valuable feedback to VAIO, promoting further improvements.

Additionally, the Mitsubishi HC Capital Group has a substantial number of returned lease PCs that present an opportunity for future leasing or rental solutions. Both Mitsubishi HC Capital and VAIO are exploring how to utilize this inventory effectively to expand their offerings to other corporate clients, thereby promoting sustainable practices in PC consumption.
