Working with our partners to create more planet-friendly solutions
As the world becomes increasingly aware of the impact of technology on the environment, IT distributors are taking steps to incorporate sustainability into their business strategies. From reducing waste to promoting energy efficiency, Exertis and our partners are committed to reducing their environmental footprint.
Across the world, Exertis is known for bringing our partners and customers the very best in tech innovations and solutions. It’s what we do best. We are also passionate about reducing our impact on the environment and in making the world just that little bit better. When we talk about sustainability, we think about creating spaces within our business that actively benefit our planet, our people, and our communities.
Exertis creates a sustainable business by ensuring we operate responsibly, aiming to decarbonise our operations – to net zero by 2050 or sooner and by 50% against a 2019 baseline, by 2030. Enabling a transition to a low-carbon future becomes easier by working with our partners to bring new technologies and products to market.
Vendors we partner with have also begun to adopt more sustainable ways of working, with a great focus being on carbon neutral operations. Reducing waste in both manufacturing and logistics, creating an environment where remote working is viable, and adopting cloud migration are just a few of the ways in which our partners are progressing towards their sustainability goals.
Seagate’s Lyve® Cloud provides multicloud as a service with no egress fees and no API charges. The ability to store, move and access data comes easily with this simple, trusted and efficient S3 object storage solution.
Seagate recognises their responsibility to address the environmental impacts of the data storage industry as an international company with global manufacturing sites. With an 82% rate for recycling hazardous waste, and a further 87% diversion rate of non-hazardous waste from landfills, Seagate are proving that they are working towards their sustainability goals.
AMD combines performance and possibility so that together we advance to a better world. They embrace the responsibility to protect our planet and the opportunity to help others save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Their environmental programs and initiatives extend across their value chain, and they set ambitious goals and publicly report annually on their progress.
AMD are both working towards their own goals and helping enterprises who use their projects reach theirs. Their EPYC™ processors are designed for efficiency, and help to reduce energy usage. With IT leaders adding energy efficiency to their data centre modernisation criteria, alongside the usual requirements of high performance, robust security, this line of processors would help meet these goals with ease.
Sustainability cannot be a one-off commitment, which is why the minds behind APC reinforce their environmental, social, and governance commitments every three years. APC act for a climate-positive world by continuously investing in and developing innovative solutions that deliver immediate and lasting decarbonisation.
Creating a carbon neutral business can take a few extra steps within an existing process but can be achieved. APC, for example, aim to be Net-Zero by 2050, with carbon neutral operations as soon as 2025. Removing plastic from packaging and instead using green materials is a simple step, but an important one which APC are using to reach their goals.

Cloud Migration
The ability to store move, and access data without egress or API fees is imperative for most businesses today. Cloud migration reduces the need for physical space to be used on a single device, and prevents servers becoming overloaded and devices beginning to fail. With Seagate’s Lyve® Cloud, customers can enable multicloud freedom with a simple, trusted, and efficient S3 object storage solution.
Reducing Energy Consumption
IT leaders are adding energy efficiency to their data centre modernisation criteria, alongside the usual requirements of high performance, robust security, and ample flexibility. AMD’s EPYC™ processors are designed for efficiency, whilst helping to reduce enterprise energy usage and helping companies meet their data centre sustainability goals.
On-Track to Net Zero
Creating a carbon neutral business can take a few extra steps within an existing process, but it can be achieved with the right solutions. Exertis partners APC aim to be Net-Zero by 2050, with carbon neutral operations as soon as 2025. Removing plastic from packaging and instead using green materials is a simple yet important step that APC is using to reach its goals.
Responsible Design and Production
Reducing the reliance on virgin plastics and opting instead for recycled or biodegradable materials has become more and more of a focus for a lot of companies. Eliminating the need for extra plastic dongles and attachments by ensuring products have enough ports on their own is just one of the ways that companies can cut back on manufacturing waste.
Adoption of Remote Working
With employees working from home, the need for constant energy usage in office environments is much lower than usual, and the need to travel onsite is greatly reduced. And integrating hybrid working into the working environment is simpler than ever with the appropriate solutions. In the past few years, many tech companies have made it their priority to ensure the correct security and proper access to crucial files can be made easily available to anyone working anywhere, making a successful hybrid workplace possible.
