Responsible Business is the only business
Our planet
Improving our environmental performance while creating value in sustainability for our partners
Protecting our planet also plays a critical role in how we deliver Partner Success. Our partners trust us to be responsible, promote a sustainable supply chain, and help our suppliers reduce their environmental impact.
Similarly, our employees want to work for a company that's making a real difference. This extends to their wellbeing, as a healthier planet means cleaner air, safer communities, and better lives for our people and their families.
But above all, looking after our planet is simply the right thing to do. That's why we've set ambitious science-based goals to help us make a meaningful difference.

Sustainability highlights
Our focus
Tackling Climate Change
As the challenges facing our planet become more urgent, we’re focusing our efforts on finding innovative solutions that reduce our environmental footprint.
We’ve mapped an ambitious path to combat climate change, and through the support from our sustainability partnerships, we’re promoting a sustainable supply chain.
Environmentally responsible technology
We embrace circular technology and reverse logistics to help our partners reduce waste and meet needs for responsibly produced IT.
Working alongside our vendors and partners, we’ve developed a number of bespoke ‘reverse logistics’ programmes. These initiatives include:
- Facilitating the return and refurbishment of customer-owned networking equipment, extending its usability and reducing the need for new equipment
- Providing ‘blended’ solutions that combine new and vendor remanufactured equipment to minimise environmental impact
- Properly disposing of end-of-life equipment through authorised recyclers
