SCC Supporting Your ESG Strategy
At SCC, we have put a firm focus on ESG and sustainability to ensure we are a reliable and reputable provider of IT Solutions that come with ESG guarantee.
In order to execute ESG with integrity, we embed our ethics and principles across SCC and we expect the same from our supply chain partners. We use externally recognised standards to assess their performance to ensure they align with ours so we can provide the best for you throughout the supply chain.
We report our carbon data to the Carbon Disclosure Project and have recently brought forward our Net-Zero emissions target to 2040. Removing emissions from across our business, enables us to deliver greener solutions to our financial services and insurance customers.
Our HQ was recently refurbished with heat pumps, heat recovery ventilation, LED light controls, improved insulation and removal of all gas fired boilers. Where possible, we use 100% renewably sourced electricity for our remaining offices and facilities.
One of our biggest ESG achievements in FY24 was the installation of solar panels at our flagship data centre facility in Birmingham. They will generate 130 tonnes of carbon savings each year.
To further our sustainability, we have started replacing our fleet with hybrid and electric vehicles.
We provide a comprehensive suite of recycling services designed to help customers meet their sustainability and waste targets and to promote a circular economy.
We have invested £25 million into SCC Recyclea, our dedicated recycling solution. Through this, we provide refurbishment, remarketing, recycling (disposal) services.
We mitigate risk before end-of-life assets leave the customers’ location using our portfolio of on-site services, including secure data erasure, degaussing and government certified physical destruction. The two-acre site of the newly built 60,000sq ft premises has suitable transport links, streamlining the delivery of the customers’ protected and secure IT assets.
An expected total of over 200,000 assets will be processed through this facility each year. SCC Recyclea is operated with 100% renewably sourced electricity, aligned with a zero waste to landfill policy and involves no water throughout the processing of materials.
Throughout the process, customers can view the status of their assets using our Lifecycle platform. We can also provide a report through Lifecycle that shows the environmental impact of SCC Recyclea.
