By continuing to drive down its own carbon emissions and staying committed, TD SYNNEX is helping partners to meet ESG expectations and turn sustainability into a competitive advantage.
► Identifying opportunities for innovation, sustainable practices and positive outcomes
► Strategic imperatives help us create value through sustainable initiatives and processes
In its most recent Corporate Citizenship Report, TD SYNNEX sets out its vision for a vibrant, interconnected world with a focus on protecting the environment. We’ve already achieved our SBTi-approved goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% (from a FY2022 base year), more than five years early – the original target was 2030.
We have also committed that 90% of our supplier by spend covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by FY2028. And that 58% of our customers (i.e. reseller partners) by revenue covering use of sold products, will have science-based targets by FY2028. The long-term targets are to reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by FY2045 (again, from a FY2022 base).
But what does all this mean to our reseller partners and their own customers? Why does it matter?
We are working closely with partners, vendors and customers to empower them through sustainability. Our unique position at the centre of the technology ecosystem connects us with thousands of businesses and enables us to identify opportunities for innovation, sustainable practices and positive outcomes. Through our sustainability strategy, we aim to do what’s right and build a stronger, more resilient business.
Six strategic pillars focus our efforts on promoting a healthier planet, achieving our targets and developing a more sustainable approach to business.
- Education and thought leadership – we work with vendors and partners to support the IT ecosystem in advancing sustainable practices
- Sustainability metrics and reporting – robust data that helps us focus our decarbonization efforts
- Climate mitigation and greenhouse gases – working toward net-zero across our value chain through renewable energy, sustainable logistics and transportation, and increased operational efficiencies
- Circular economy – enhancing product lifecycle management and expanding and improving circular economy services
- Culture – a mindset that drives sustainability initiatives locally and in commercial projects
- Commercial sustainability – creating value through products and services that support climate adaptation, optimising energy efficiency and supporting a more circular economy, and helping partners to develop sustainability readiness and strengthen the value proposition.
These strategic imperatives help us focus on creating value through initiatives and processes that reduce environmental impact, while supporting our co-workers and help our business and our partners to thrive. Many of our vendors provide sustainability-related technology, such as refurbished PCs and carbon reporting solutions. We work to connect them with partner opportunities, helping to unlock the value of sustainable products and solutions.
