ESG Report
Working on ESG for a Sustainable Future
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reflects an organization's practices and performance on sustainability and societal issues. Our ESG report provides data on environmental impact, supply chain practices, diversity, and more.
We believe in meeting present needs without compromising future generations, integrating ecological compatibility, social justice, and economic efficiency. What this means in our everyday operations, what we have achieved and what targets we have set for ourselves is disclosed in our Sustainability Report.
Sustainable
– what does that mean for us?
Environmental:
- Climate Change: Our sustainability strategy, "LESS," actively addresses climate change through measures like reducing CO2 emissions and waste management.
- Emissions: We reduce CO2 emissions and pollutants by optimizing our processes, using intermodal transport systems, and offers to strengthen the circular economy in IT.
- Rare Earth: Our commitment to responsible resources includes reducing the use of rare earth metals through recycling and dialogue with our vendors.
- Circular Economy: We contribute to the circular economy by refurbishing electronic equipment for reuse, minimizing waste.
Social:
- Human Rights: We support the principles of the UN Global Compact, ensuring respect for human rights across our operations. We also actively engage with our Supply Chain on this topic. Every year we ask our vendors to participate in a survey based on which we evaluate the ESG performance of the company.

Governance:
- Code of Conduct: Our Code of Conduct is setting standards for personal rights, conflicts of interest, secrecy, and the maintenance of our corporate reputation. We also have created a Supplier Code of Conduct, which is discussed with all our vendors.
- Corporate Governance: Transparent and responsible corporate governance is ensured through clear rules and separation of personal and corporate interests.
- Compliance: Compliance with legal requirements, ethical standards, and internal policies is of upmost importance to us. Training for all employees is mandatory.
- Due Diligence: We conduct ESG due diligence to identify and address sustainability-related risks in our business operations and acquisitions.
