At Circularity First, we believe the tech industry has the power to lead real environmental change. That belief was powerfully validated this week as our Founder and Chairman, Anthony Levy, was named the winner of techUK's prestigious Planet Award.
This recognition isn't just about one personit's about the growing acknowledgment that sustainable IT is not only possible, but essential. It's about building a digital future that values longevity, carbon reduction, and smarter use of resources.
Seventeen years ago, Anthony left a fast-paced career in telecoms with a bold ambition: to prove that technology could be both more sustainable and more profitable. Since then, he's been a passionate advocate for reshaping how the industry thinks about IT. Not just as a race for the latest hardware, but as a system that can be redesigned to cut carbon, reduce e-waste, and deliver real long-term value.
"I truly believe we cannot expect business leaders to make the necessary changes for purely moral reasons. We have to show that sustainability drives value real shareholder value," Anthony said.
That belief has guided Circularity First’s mission. From helping organisations reduce their IT carbon footprint to guiding sustainable procurement strategies. We’re showing that circular IT isn’t a compromise it’s a smarter, more resilient way forward.
The Planet Award celebrates individuals and organisations that are pushing the boundaries of climate innovation. techUK described Anthony as a “force multiplier in the circular economy” and “a powerful ambassador for planet-friendly digital transformation.” Check Out TechUK's full article here:
This award isn’t just a trophy it’s recognition that the industry is waking up to the fact that environmental responsibility and business performance go hand in hand.
Whether it’s through Scope 3 emissions tracking, sourcing remanufactured hardware, or building low-carbon IT strategies, we remain committed to helping organisations move beyond token gestures and into real, measurable progress.
We’re incredibly proud of Anthony and even prouder to continue this journey with the amazing team, clients, and partners who believe in a more circular, sustainable, and forward-thinking tech industry.
This moment is not the destination, but a milestone and a motivating one at that. For every organisation looking to align their digital transformation goals with environmental responsibility, we’re here to help lead that change.
To our customers, partners, and team: thank you for believing in this mission and proving that a better, more circular tech industry is not only achievable it’s already underway.
