Key Sustainability Challenges
Aside from the wider need to make a contribution to the fight against climate change, many organisations are having to battle on a number of other fronts at the same time, including:
Security
Keeping data secure on assets throughout their lifecycle is essential, and has to be balanced against sustainability. For example, when obsolete devices are disposed of or recycled, data must be securely wiped so that breaches or leaks can’t happen unintentionally
Measuring impact
Businesses are expected to demonstrate a clear and meaningful commitment to sustainability. To do this, they need hard facts and data on the performance of their recycling and emission reduction efforts
Asset disposal
In order to reduce harmful electronic waste, businesses have to find ways to recycle, refurbish or safely dispose of as many assets as possible.
Compliance
All of the above are subject to strict regulations which are evolving all the time, and many businesses may need help maintaining compliance and upholding sustainability standards
