Our Commitment to Achieving Net Zero Carbon Emissions
As businesses worldwide take steps toward sustainability, reducing carbon footprints is no longer an option, it’s a responsibility. At C-IT Group, we recognise the crucial role the tech industry plays in shaping a sustainable future. That’s why we’re committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, aligning with the UK government’s goal for the public sector.
From recycling old IT equipment to implementing energy efficient solutions, we’re actively reducing our environmental impact while helping businesses stay connected. Here’s how we’re making a difference, and how you can join us in building a greener future.
Why IT Sustainability Matters
The IT sector is one of the fastest-growing industries, but it also contributes significantly to carbon emissions. Key environmental challenges include…
• Electronic Waste (E-Waste) Every year, millions of tons of outdated IT equipment end up in landfills, releasing toxic materials into the environment.
• Energy Consumption Data centres, servers, and IT infrastructure require vast amounts of energy, increasing carbon emissions.
• Manufacturing Impact The production of new devices consumes valuable natural resources, leading to deforestation and pollution.
Addressing these issues is essential for a sustainable future, and C-IT Group is taking action.
