IT leaders have a unique opportunity to drive substantial reductions in their organization’s carbon footprint while also realizing significant cost savings. In our 2024 CIO report, 93% of CIOs believe IT is core to successfully delivering on their organization’s environmental objectives.
This blog explores why embracing circular IT is not just an environmental choice, but a strategic business decision that can transform your IT department into a sustainability powerhouse.
Here are the top 5 ways IT leaders can help deliver on sustainability goals for their organization:
Reduce Co2 impact of new IT projects by using refreshed equipment
By implementing a mix of new and remanufactured hardware in IT refresh projects, leaders can significantly decrease CO2 emissions. This approach not only reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing new equipment but also extends the lifecycle of existing assets.
Mitigate e-waste by ethically recycling
The global e-waste crisis is a growing concern, with millions of tons of electronic waste ending up in landfills annually. By ensuring that IT assets are ethically and securely disposed of or repurposed at market value, IT can play a crucial role in avoiding e-waste and its associated environmental hazards.
Recover market value from retired assets and divert from landfill
Leveraging remanufactured hardware and extending the life of existing assets can substantially cut IT costs without compromising on performance. Additionally, working with an ITAD or Sustainable IT partner like Logicalis can help recover residual value from decommissioned assets through refurbishment and resale.
Access partner programs such as Cisco Takeback and Greenpay
Many IT vendors now offer programs to support circular economy initiatives, which can be leveraged to drive innovation and competitive advantage. Explore partnerships with vendors who offer certified remanufactured products and take-back programs. For example, Cisco’s Takeback program allows equipment owners to return hardware that has reached end-of-use at no cost, potentially generating rebates for future innovation.
As an IT leader, embracing circularity in your technology ecosystem is no longer just an option—it’s a strategic imperative. By reducing environmental impact while driving economic benefits, you can transform your IT department into a sustainability powerhouse. Don’t let your IT assets become a liability; join the circular economy revolution and lead your organization towards a more sustainable and profitable future.
