“…The key themes identified in the transcripts are shown in Figure 5 below, which also shows frequency. Aggregation and analysis of qualitative data, generated by responses to all 10 questions, showed that of the 17 themes identified in the transcripts the most common was the environment (identified 15 times), followed by circular/circularity and economic (8); efficiency/energy efficiency (7), social and support (6), awareness, future, manufacture, and public sector (4), growth and market visibility (3), business, green procurement, target, and users (2) and tool (1). Considering the interests (i.e., all bar one have engaged with the CEDaCI project and take part in WGs and CCWs), expertise and roles within the organisations (5 are directly linked to sustainability, 3 are linked to overall efficiency and 1, sustainability-linked research) these results are not surprising; similarly, alignment of the themes with the individual participants reflected the type of organisation with which they work: for example the (A) (who works for a corporate global IT producer) focussed on efficiency, growth, manufacture, and targets; (B) and (E), who work for SMEs specialising in refurbishment/second life products and recycling, focused on the three tenets of sustainability, education, and circularity, as did (C), who also commented on the public sector and works for a national non-profit organisation; (D) and (G) work for a non-profit global open-source IT provider, and both referred to sustainability-linked criteria and the future growth; (F) (who works in a university) focused on the environment and economics as did (H), the technical consultant who also spoke of manufacture and business.…”
