2024 was CHG-MERIDIAN's most successful fiscal year to date.
Our latest figures show that global demand for circular tech solutions is growing strong. Companies are increasingly focusing on usage over ownership when investing in technology in order to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.

Technology is becoming increasingly important for our customers' business worldwide. Investing in technology projects such as a digital infrastructure with high-performing IT hardware has become essential for companies that want to keep pace with the digital transformation.

This development presents great opportunities for CHG-MERIDIAN, as we offer our customers access to modern technology through IT usage models such as leasing, rental, and Device-as-a-Service. These solutions are cost-efficient, flexible, and sustainable, as our business model is based on the principle of the circular economy.

2024 was the most successful year in our more than 45-year history. We remain focused on our goal for the future: putting our customers' needs first and supporting them with modern technology management.

"Modern usage models that apply the principle of usage over ownership enable companies to keep pace with technological advances while also retaining financial flexibility. This is a key requirement for long-term growth."

Our Sustainability Insights offer a concise overview of our understanding of sustainability and important developments in this area.

We are committed to lifecycle thinking, with the aim of making the usage cycle of IT equipment more sustainable. This also includes giving our It lease returns a second life through professional remarketing. In 2024, we gave around 1,000,000 IT devices, or 94 percent of all IT lease returns, a second life through refurbishment and remarketing in our modern technology centers or via our partners.

With IT investments forecast to reach $5.6 trillion in 2025 (according to Gartner) and more than two-thirds of companies planning to increase their investments in artificial intelligence, it is clear how crucial digital transformation has become.

However, success depends on technology investments being cost-efficient, flexible and sustainable. Circular tech solutions offer exactly that: access to modern technologies without tying up capital, preserving liquidity and at the same time operating in a scalable and resource-efficient manner.
