It is safe to say it’s been a different and challenging environment for most businesses and people over the last few years since Covid arrived, but we are starting to see the green shoots of recovery around the world. We have looked at life in a different way, and it’s important we continue to look forward with the progress that has been made.
Technology has developed and moved forward despite supply chain issues and constraints of products through various factors, including a global chip shortage branded as “Chippageddon”. This has meant many people sweating assets in both their business and personal lives more than ever before and as we have had to adapt to a new way of life it has made many of us think about the impact we have on the environment.
As consumers, through technological advances and reduction of cost, we are more secure with our data by having unlimited data bundles and becoming less reliant on Wi-Fi hotspots while combining this with added layers of security software. Due to shortages of new products, we are moving away from the “disposable economy” we once took for granted, and instead refurbishing, or increasing capacity and using our devices for longer. Governments are starting to encourage a wider circular economy to ensure there are enough minerals and materials so that we can continue to make products for future generations.
Businesses also have a role to play in sustainability as they look to reduce carbon emissions within their own business and their supply chain. This is reported back to shareholders and investors in ESG reporting metrics and will inevitably have an impact on future taxation.
Everything we do is based around sustainability. From providing refurbished and re-purposed data center hardware, media, and carbon-neutral laptops, to extending the life of existing equipment with Procurri maintenance offerings, we are helping our partners become greener. Finally, when assets are retired, we provide residual values and re-purpose the hardware where possible and provide carbon calculations you can report within your ESG metrics, or alternatively ensure assets are fully disposed of with WEEE compliance and 0% landfill if they have reached the end of their lifespan, all whilst ensuring strict data compliance standards are met.
