From 2024, large companies in the EU will be required to report on their sustainability, climate or corporate social responsibility performance. This is laid down in the corporate sustainability reporting directive (CSRD).
The CSRD regulates in detail (in more than 1,000 criteria) what information must at least be included in the report and this demands quite a lot from companies. We list a few sections:
COâ‚‚ emissions from your IT hardware in scope 1,2 and 3
Figures on resource inflows, such as the number of kg of recycled material, renewable material and energy used
Figures on the outflow of resources, materials and products; how many raw materials, materials and products are thrown away? And how many of these are reused, repaired, dismantled, remanufactured or recycled?
Figures on waste, such as how many kg or what percentage is reused, recycled, incinerated and landfilled
To what extent human rights are guaranteed in the chain
To what extent your choices have contributed or will contribute to circularity (index)
What the total cost of ownership (TCO) is over its lifetime.

The crucial role of hard drive destruction and data deletion
For businesses, it's crucial to ensure the safe disposal of data at the end of hardware's life cycle. Simply 'deleting' data is a myth; real data security demands professional hard drive destruction or data erasure. Circular IT group's data destruction service offers a complete and environmentally friendly solution, including the option for secure data removal while preserving the hardware. Protect your company from data breaches and comply with privacy laws with the assurance of thorough data destruction.
The cradle-to-grave KPI for end-user computing measures the environmental impact of digital devices throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to disposal. By extending the lifespan of devices and choosing devices with a lower carbon footprint, organizations can reduce their environmental impact.
In 2025, most larger companies will have to apply the new rules for corporate sustainability in their reporting for fiscal 2024. Chief Information Officers play a critical role in making ESG (enterprise, social, governance) tangible. CIOs must act as Climate Impact Officers.
