Sustainability at Advania: Strategy, goals and progress

WHY SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS

IT that creates long-term business value

Sustainability is an integral part of doing business today. It’s about reducing risk, using resources more efficiently and creating long-term business value.

By combining innovation, security and circular practices, we help organisations meet increasing demands from customers, employees and legislation – creating opportunities to strengthen their competitiveness.

HOW WE CREATE VALUE

Sustainability efforts throughout the value chain

Sustainable development is about more than climate. Our work covers several stages of the IT lifecycle – from the management and reuse of IT equipment to cybersecurity, AI and long-term partnerships.

OUR FOCUS

Advania's strategic sustainability focus areas

Our strategic focus areas reflect areas where technological development impacts businesses, society and the climate.

Increasing digitalisation brings new opportunities, but also greater demands for security, resource efficiency and the responsible use of technology.

Digital resilience

The ability to prevent, manage and recover from incidents is essential for maintaining continuity and trust.

Circular IT

Through reuse, take-back programmes and extended IT equipment lifespans, more products can remain in use for longer, reducing the need for new resources.

AI & innovation

Developing and using AI requires clear governance, transparency and high-quality data to ensure reliable and responsible solutions.
