About Global financial services company
With our proven history in sustainable IT asset recovery, we were able to give a leading global financial services company a bespoke, flexible, and intuitive solution that larger companies couldn’t.
The challenge
Our client needed to consolidate network infrastructure across their North Eastern data centres in a way that made good commercial sense and supported their net zero goals. The client presented a list of several thousand parts to be recovered and asked for a proposal that would be measured against other bidders. They needed robust operational, logistical, and time-sensitive solutions that would continue to put the bank on course to a more sustainable future.
What we did
Our client reached out to us on the recommendation that we are pioneers in IT sustainability. Our experts brought a level of knowledge and innovation that was essential for this advanced technology environment. Our insight in this space meant we could anticipate what clients often aren’t in a position to see, with an over the horizon view to quickly reconcile oversights in their equipment inventory.
As well as offering the best-case commercial outcome, our tailored approach enabled us to co-engineer a strategy that looked at solutions through a consumer, manufacturer, and redistributor lens. Our specialists guaranteed that, post recovery, every acquired asset’s utility could be extended to the highest degree.
The results
- 1,554 items recovered, saving them from ending up in landfill
- 803 tCO2e embodied in the devices, with only 63 tCO2e required to give them a second life, saving 740 tCO2e
- 7,870kg of e-waste saved by recovering and re-distributing devices
Alongside seamless asset disposition, our client received a report that included a comprehensive breakdown of embodied carbon in every item we had recovered. This gave measurable, positive data relating to product re-use, with a level of detail that delighted our client, who came away with the tools to help target the areas for future improvement on supply chain and Scope 3 impact, based on the principles of circular IT. Our white glove service took the client on an end-to-end journey that handled their technology estate with due care and consideration, delivering a transformational outcome of tangible sustainability that they had not anticipated.
