Computacenter announces that it aims to be Carbon Neutral in
2022 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions
27th April 2022
Computacenter has announced that it aims to be Carbon Neutral in
2022 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, five years ahead of its previous
target. Computacenter's Sustainability Report for 2021 shows how
the Group's Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions in 2021 were nearly 74%
lower than in 2019, despite the significant growth in scale and
reach of the Group over that time. Scope 1 and 2 emissions include
direct emissions such as facilities and indirect emissions such as
electricity used.
Computacenter's target for Net Zero, including Scope 3
emissions, is now 2040, ten years ahead of its previous aim. Scope
3 emissions include all other indirect emissions including business
travel and transportation as well as those from sources that
Computacenter do not own or directly control including the supply
chain and products from our technology partners.
A number of initiatives and investments over recent years
contribute to achieving the Carbon Neutral milestone in 2022, which
include:
-- Investments in new and existing facilities to reduce electricity consumption;
-- Investment in solar generation at Hatfield (1.8m kWh
generated in 2021, saving approx. 400,000 kg of annual carbon
emissions) and Kerpen (1.5m kWh generation expected in 2022);
-- Move to electricity contracts from green energy suppliers.
As a result, in 2021, 73% of Computacenter's electricity usage
came from renewable sources. This means that Computacenter can
achieve carbon neutral (Scope 1 and 2) in 2022 with minimal usage
of carbon offsets for remaining emissions.
Computacenter's Sustainability Report for 2021 can be downloaded
from the Sustainability section of our website. A supporting video
can also be viewed there.
Computacenter's Group Finance Director and Chair of its Climate
Committee, Tony Conophy, commented:
"Achievement of Carbon Neutral (Scopes 1 & 2) in 2022 will
be a major milestone on our journey to Net Zero, based on years of
carbon reduction efforts across the business that we are confident
can be sustained and improved upon. We're proud that will be one of
the first companies in our industry to achieve this."
Computacenter's Group Development Director, Mo Siddiqi,
commented:
"We're proud of what our people have achieved to hit this
milestone. We haven't talked much about it, we've just delivered.
We will continue to improve, invest and innovate in all areas of
sustainability in line with our broader Sustainability Strategy.
We'll be the best that we can be; a company that our people,
customers, partners and communities can be proud of."
