To combat climate change, governments around the world are setting net-zero emission targets, which will apply both to the public and private sectors.
While Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives have become board-level priorities, many organisations don’t have the expertise to drive the adoption of sustainable practices, across their entire technology landscape. That’s why more and more organisations are turning to SCC to support the attainment of their net-zero targets.
SCC has pledged its own commitment to reaching net zero by 2040. And our wider responsibility for making the world a more sustainable place is shared across all parts of our business. From reducing the energy burden of data centres, recycling servers and devices through SCC Recyclea, and supporting the GreenOps movement, supporting our customers with sustainability is always front of mind.
What’s more, adopting a sustainability strategy through your IT can also benefit your bottom line, reducing expenditure and increasing profit margins. Whether you’re at the start of your net zero journey or already pioneering change, we can help you implement sustainable practices that align with your organisational goals and environmental commitments.
Hybrid Cloud Services
An adaptive multi-cloud strategy is vital for accelerating technology and driving sustainability at the same time. Leveraging the strength of public and private clouds can transform on-prem options for customers, support new innovations in hardware and software, and enable virtualisation and containerisation technologies, thanks to:
- Optimised resource utilisation that enables dynamic scaling
- Variable workloads to reduce carbon footprint
- Enhanced lifecycle management to avoid overburdening on-premise equipment
- Reduced need for space-consuming hardware
- Integrated innovation and green technology to advance practical sustainability
Digital Workplace
At a time when new working models are becoming more commonplace, SCC’s Digital Workplace solution is ideal for enabling work that’s both flexible and sustainable:
- Deploying digital tools and processes that encourage sustainable workflows and easier reporting on ESG targets.
- Enabling seamless hybrid work strategies that reduce the travel and transport impact of the workforce.
- Driving improvements and efficiencies through AI-powered reporting and analytics on sustainability progress.
- Equipping employees with modern, energy-efficient devices that serve their day-to-day needs.
- Facilitating data-driven digital experience improvements, where devices are replaced when needed rather than according to a predetermined refresh cycle.
