Public and private-sector organisations are coming under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, and improve their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. For example, the UK Government is aiming to reduce direct emissions from public sector buildings by 50% by 2032, and by 75% by 2037. And according to the Climate Change Committee, environmental issues are now among the top three priorities consumers expect businesses to address, with 84% of consumers perceiving current climate efforts as insufficient.
Modern workplace technologies are essential to balance the need for workforces to operate productively and maintain a strong culture, while optimising business travel, office energy consumption, paper-based processes and hardware device overhead.
Many organisations struggle to understand how their operations are impacting the environment. Typically, they don’t possess the expertise to identify areas for improvement, implement the right efficiency initiatives, or report on their sustainability performance. Overcoming this lack of internal ESG capability through external partnerships has now become critical.
SCC is uniquely positioned to help you achieve your sustainability goals through our digital workplace services. We take an integrated approach that embeds environmental accountability into the full technology lifecycle. And it also improves your employee experience, by increasing collaboration and productivity.
Digital workplace services and collaboration tools for a greener organisation
At SCC, we understand that organisations need to transition to more sustainable operations, without compromising core functions, or indeed the productivity of the workforce.
This is the driving force behind SCC’s Digital Workplace. We combine collaboration technology with analytics, consultancy and services – all focused on helping you introduce more sustainable working practices, along with more energy-efficient environments and devices. We do this while always focusing on how we can enhance the experience of your employees.
Digital collaboration tools
Integrate various tools like voice, video and messaging into a single Unified Communications Platform, enhancing productivity, streamlining workflows and enabling environmentally-friendly hybrid work
Video collaboration
Virtual collaboration environments that facilitate seamless teamwork anywhere, using tools like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex. These combine with high-quality video conferencing solutions, supported by SCC’s technical expertise and robust infrastructure
Smarter device analytics and management
We’ll analyse real device usage patterns and application requirements. Employee devices can be optimised with the right software and applications, hardware failures and bottlenecks can be predicted, and remediation can be put in place before operations are disrupted
Intelligent refresh
Extend device lifecycles beyond typical refresh cycles and cut the impact of new device manufacturing, by monitoring user experiences and using devices until they’re no longer practical or viable
SCC Recyclea
Recycling, remarketing and refurbishment services that eliminate waste, ensure that obsolete devices are disposed of responsibly, and provide opportunities to extend device lifespan by securely refurbishing for reuse
Digital employee experience management
Make informed decisions on when devices need replacing through user experience analytics. This can help you extend lifecycles, reduce carbon footprint and cut waste, while ensuring employees always have the equipment they need to be productive
IT Asset Management and software in the cloud
ITAM provides much-needed visibility into the consumption of IT hardware and software – and how it’s impacting the environment. It can help you eliminate unnecessary, locally-installed applications, moving them to the cloud to enable more remote working. This in-turn helps curb emissions from employee commutes, while maintaining productivity through cloud-based software and collaboration tools
A new way of working that’s better for the planet
Cut emissions through reduced travel: video collaboration and virtual meetings reduce the need for commuting and business travel by car or plane, making a substantial emission saving. Wider home working also allows organisations to downsize office space, and make further energy, emissions and waste savings
Save energy through operational efficiency: facilitate paperless workflows and operations through greater resource efficiency, and save energy at individual and organisational level through seamless remote work that doesn’t compromise productivity
Improve reporting, engagement and governance: enable better transparency through video collaboration recording, and ensure clearer compliance with regulatory requirements. This can also help with support workforce, customer and community engagement, and demonstrating a clear commitment to ESG objectives
Improve employee experiences: develop a culture of sustainability engagement through workforce initiatives and training that encourage environmentally friendly actions day-to-day. Combined with the employee wellbeing benefits of flexible work, this supports a more value-driven workplace, and can drive better employee retention and acquisition
Work towards your ESG targets: support your environmental targets on several fronts, including more efficient use of resources; optimised energy use through data analytics and energy consumption tracking; reduced carbon footprint through hybrid work; extended device lifespan; and waste reduction through SCC Recyclea
