Sustainability

IT3000 is committed to the sustainable growth of our business and as a company we strive to continue to learn and develop our sustainable and environmental practices.

Renewable energy

Our larger Leicestershire head office is home to a number of photovoltaic solar panels (PV) which catch the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. This energy is then used to power our office and any access electricity is sent back to the grid to power other homes and businesses and help to reduce the countries reliance on fossil fuels.

Low Emission Vehicles

The IT3000 company fleet is comprised of all low emissions vehicles and, with one full electric and two hybrid vehicles in our lineup, we are we are moving towards an electric/ hybrid fleet. To help encourage our staff and customers to make the switch towards electric vehicles we have ensured that electric charging points are available when visiting our head office.

Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling

According to HSE "every year an estimated two million tonnes of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) items are discarded by householders and companies in the UK. WEEE includes most products that have a plug or need a battery."

Here at IT3000 we recycle electrical and electronic equipment in two ways:

1. By extending the longevity of equipment by reusing items where suitable. When live equipment is due an upgrade it is often suitable to reuse this as backup environment which enables us to reduce waste without impacting on performance or reliability. 

2. We use a WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) approved recycling company for any equipment that cannot be reused or refurbished. By using an approved recycler, we ensure that we are meeting the Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations set out by the Government and are complying to GDPR and our ISO 27001 standards for information security.
