Sustainability

Despite 60% of UK IT channel companies stating their organisation already has an ESG strategy in place, 63% are yet to set a carbon-neutral or net-zero goal.

Where businesses have made the greatest strides towards Net Zero targets, organisations are investing in the greenest solutions. Examples include business productivity technologies (investment by 89% of firms), collaboration technologies (70%), cloud technologies (69%) and carbon emissions measurement technologies (33%).  

Digital Space has invested in two new partnerships, with Circular Computing and Re-Tek, to deliver improved sustainability services for its customers.

Union Street is branching out its sustainability efforts by planting a tree, each year, for every partner it works with.

IT channel leaders are confident that they can make sustainable change within their company, with 84% stating they were optimistic about adopting more eco-friendly processes throughout their supply chains.

BT Group has brought forwards its net zero target from 2045 to 2030 for its own operational business and 2040 for its supply chain and customer emissions.

The adoption of technology in manufacturing, transport and agriculture could reduce the UK’s overall emissions by as much as 4% a year, the equivalent of the annual emissions of the north east of England.

Before embarking on a diversity and inclusion journey it’s vital to understand what that truly means.
