approach has empowered our partners to make more sustainable choices and, ultimately, reduce their own environmental impact. Introducing BSI-Refurbished Sustainable Technology Our commitment to sustainability has also driven us to champion refurbished technology. As demand for refurbished products continues to grow, we’ve been certified by the British Standards Institute (BSI) for the quality of our refurbishment process. These products, including laptops from major brands like HP, Dell, and Lenovo, offer an exceptional environmental impact. For example, a typical BSI-Refurbished laptop saves 275kg of CO2 emissions compared to manufacturing a new one. It also conserves 95,696 litres of water and prevents a used laptop from entering the growing e-waste stream. With a 2-year warranty, over 140 products to choose from, and savings of up to 60% compared to new devices, our resellers are not only delivering sustainable products but also benefiting from attractive margins. It’s a win-win for the planet and for business.

to market. Their innovative range of cabinets, trolleys, and lockers has made a significant impact, especially with their ‘Smart Charge’ technology.

This technology prevents overcharging, a common issue that leads to battery degradation and shorter battery lifespans. By charging devices only to their optimal levels, Smart Charge reduces energy wastage and extends the life of devices, ultimately saving costs and minimising environmental impact.

B-Corp Certified Ergonomic Peripherals When it comes to sustainability, the design of the product is paramount. That’s why we were thrilled when R-Go Tools, a B-Corp certified company, approached us with their line of ergonomic peripherals. Made from 85% recyclable materials, these products not only improve user comfort but are also designed with minimal environmental impact in mind. The fact that R-Go Tools is a certified B-Corp company speaks volumes about their commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The Future Is Green As Ikonic continues to grow and evolve, sustainability will remain at the heart of everything we do. Our greening of the product range is a crucial part of our broader strategy, one that seeks to create a more sustainable future for the next generation. Together with our resellers and partners, we can make a tangible difference, reducing our collective carbon footprint and fostering a circular economy that prioritises the planet’s well-being. The future of IT is sustainable, and we’re proud to be leading the charge.
