Re-use, Re-purpose or Re-deploy (to support internal initiatives)
Donate (to support employees, charities and external organisations)
Resell (to realise Residual Value for unwanted assets, re-invest and extend the life for unwanted IT assets)
Recycle (to dispose of redundant IT assets legally, ethically, sustainably)
Vast quantities of water are used in the manufacturing process for electronics. By extending the life of unwanted IT assets we contribute positively by reducing water consumption in manufacturing which enables more water to be used for domestic consumption. In addition electronic equipment contains numerous metals and chemicals that have the potential to create water contamination. By re-using, reducing, and responsibly recycling this equipment, we aim to contribute to this goal.
We measure this in terms of litres of H2O avoided through reuse and recycling of IT.
By ensuring that electronic equipment is re-used, we help our clients to reduce the volume of new equipment purchased and ensure that it is responsibly recycled at the end of its life. This approach contributes to a circular economy.
We measure this in terms of kilos of IT assets processed through reuse and recycling with 0% to landfill.
The production, use, and disposal of electronic equipment generates a significant amount of carbon – the major contributor to climate change. By ensuring equipment is re-used, reduced, and responsibly recycled, we encourage carbon avoidance and generate carbon savings which contributes to this goal.
We measure this in terms of kilos of CO2 avoided through reuse and recycle cycles.
Based on our standard dashboard we provide customised reporting for our clients to bring the SDGs to life with metrics that directly apply to their business and whatever the sector – whether in Government, Telecoms, Banking or FMCG.
