Sustainability within the digital workplace is paramount globally, with European solutions providers at the forefront. They demonstrate leadership through pioneering green initiatives centred on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and responsible disposal of electronic equipment. These providers are actively implementing strategies such as deploying energy-efficient hardware, optimising software, and embracing renewable energy sources to diminish their ecological footprint.
