Improve Sustainability

Embracing sustainability in your IT strategy

In a changing world, environmental concerns, and resource scarcity are critical issues. It's our collective responsibility to work towards sustainability. Discover how your IT strategy can contribute.

Embrace usage over ownership: Opt for modern, energy-saving devices with effective life cycle management.

Benefit the environment, your peace of mind, and your budget.

If new, energy-efficient IT equipment is on your to-do list, but your budget leaves little room for this, consider a usage model that reconciles environmental impact and cost savings with your evolving IT requirements. Our service-based model takes you one step closer to achieving your sustainability goals where you can access the latest devices without ownership.

Modernizing the IT landscape and reducing the environmental impact at the same time

Innovation cycles in IT are getting shorter and shorter. But constantly buying new devices is a burden on your budget and the environment—a dilemma that we can help you overcome. Using products instead of owning them positively affects the environment.

60% of IT assets do not always reach their maximum service life, resulting in the loss of significant value. At the end of your usage period, devices returned to CHG-MERIDIAN are refurbished, remarketed and given a second life, meaning they are used for longer overall. Our main goal is to preserve the maximum value for the products in our value chain.

This reduces the ecological footprint, and your IT landscape is modernized at regular intervals. In addition, you can voluntarily offset the greenhouse emissions caused by the production and use of your new devices through certified compensation measures. Circular economy plus financial climate contributions: this is how sustainability works with CHG-MERIDIAN.

How you can benefit with CHG-MERIDIAN

Environmental Protection The longer service life of remarketed devices means fewer production processes are required. This reduces the ecological footprint. Voluntarily offsetting greenhouse gases helps to reduce harmful environmental impacts.

Compliance with Regulations A well-managed usage concept can help you meet environmental requirements, e.g. for the responsible disposal of devices or complying with supply chain specifications.

Cost Savings New, efficient and more powerful appliances reduce energy costs. In addition, the sale of old appliances on the secondary market offers additional savings.

Competitive Advantage Environmentally conscious, sustainability-oriented companies are perceived more positively. A plus point for standing out from the competition. And to attract customers, partners, investors and highly skilled employees.
