The race for sustainability

Modern workplace growth shouldn't cost our environment

Make an impact that matters

Environmental sustainability is now a mainstream concern for enterprise CEOs and a key strategic initiative for global organizations. In addition to working toward a healthier planet for everyone’s benefit, organizations face the immediate threat of waning competitiveness if they don't reduce their net carbon footprint.

Employees are more likely to value working for a green company, and customers purchasing products or services at an enterprise level commonly request the environmental sustainability credentials of their suppliers during an RFP process. SHI expects organizations will exclude suppliers by 2025 if they're not compliant against the purchaser’s sustainability targets.

The vital importance of sustainability has a growing impact on digital workplace device selection and service evaluation processes.

With increased awareness to reduce carbon emissions, IT suppliers are now reworking how their products are shipped, what packaging materials are used, and the carbon footprint associated with their business practices. Many SHI partners are dedicated to decarbonization and sustainability, with strict targets and business initiatives to meet climate goals.

Improve end-user device lifecycle management

Efficiently managing the lifecycle of end-user devices has a huge impact on sustainability metrics for an enterprise organization. Investing in sustainable e-waste recycling initiatives and aspiring to accreditation such as the e-Stewards certification ensure outdated technology is not only recycled, but dismantled properly and safely. For device provisioning and break/fix programs, we can help you reduce the total emissions attributed to end-user device refreshes.

Leveraging our vast network of partners, each carefully vetted and matched to your needs, SHI offers a one-stop global solution for all your asset recovery and disposal needs.

When collecting equipment from your office locations, we scan all devices on site before loading onto sealed vehicles to transport them to secure premises. All assets are managed through a verified chain of custody, so you can rest assured that all end-of-life asset recovery activities conducted with SHI are secure and in line with regulatory requirements.

SHI works with organizations as they make huge strides toward responsible and sustainable business practices, while managing hybrid workforces and providing employees with a CYOD provisioning model.
