Encouraging the use of remote work technologies to reduce travel-related emissions

#3

Adopting renewable energy sources where possible to power our offices and data centres

Sustainable IT Solutions

We are dedicated to providing sustainable IT solutions that not only improve efficiency but also contribute to a waste-free and circular economy. This includes:

  • Recommending Energy Star-certified devices to lower energy consumption
  • Promoting cloud-based services to reduce the need for physical infrastructure and minimize energy usage

Responsible E-Waste Management

In compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, BITS Group ensures that all electronic waste is responsibly disposed of through certified partners. We support local initiatives like Harrow Sustain IT, which focuses on the repair and reuse of electronic devices. Our e-waste practices include:

  • Partnering with certified recyclers to ensure that IT equipment is disposed of responsibly
  • Securely wiping all data-bearing devices before disposal and providing certificates of data destruction upon request
  • Supporting the refurbishment and reuse of IT devices to extend their lifecycle and reduce waste

Sustainable Office Practices

Internally, BITS Group implements smart energy use and sustainable procurement strategies to minimise environmental impact:

  • Utilising LED lighting and energy-efficient devices to conserve energy in our office
  • Actively recycling materials, including paper, plastics, and electronic waste, in collaboration with local waste management facilities
  • Partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability

Engaging with Stakeholders

We actively engage with our employees, clients, and local communities to raise awareness of climate change and sustainability. BITS Group supports local public consultations and initiatives such as Harrow’s Nature Recovery efforts, ensuring that our sustainability actions benefit the wider community.

At BITS Group, we believe in taking meaningful action to address climate change. We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality in our operations by 2035 and continue to work with our clients and local partners to create a sustainable future.
