Logicalis announces significant progress towards sustainability targets

Logicalis recognises that the environmental impact of its business extends beyond direct operations. The technology service provider is on track to ensure 85% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, will have science-based targets by 2028.

The business is also addressing scope 3 emissions by encouraging low-carbon travel and commuting. Partnering with climate group RouteZero, Logicalis' pilot achieved a 42% reduction in group travel emissions in FY24 (the figures represent a pilot group of 50 employees). Platforms offering smarter travel choices will now be extended across Logicalis operations. 

Bob Bailkoski, Logicalis CEO, said: "We believe that organisations like ours have a vital role to play in addressing climate change. We are proud of the proactive steps that we have taken, we're evolving into the Responsible Business we envisioned and will continue to strive for better outcomes for all our stakeholders through increasingly Responsible Business practices.  At Logicalis, we aim to make the world a better place and our commitment to becoming a net zero carbon organisation by 2050 is a significant part of that."

Logicalis also made advancements towards its target of switching 75% of global operations to renewable energy by 2025 and 100% by 2030. In FY24, 11 operations across the UK, Germany, Spain and Australia switched to renewable energy, with further operations across Portugal, Germany, Ireland and The Channel Islands set to make the switch in the next 12 months.

Charissa Jaganath, Head of Responsible Business at Logicalis, said: "One of the most significant challenges we face as a business is continuing to reduce our scope emission whilst also driving commercial growth. Despite this, sustainability remains a priority at Logicalis. We understand that there is an urgent need to reduce damage to our planet, which is why we regularly assess our progress to ensure we are on the right track and maintaining momentum. We will continue to do this whilst collaborating with our colleagues and partners to ensure we collectively contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet."

As part of its commitment to being a responsible business, in FY22 to FY24 Logicalis Invested over US$500 000 to support community projects, many of which aim to improve access to STEM education and technology skills for women and minority groups. In 2024, this work benefited 1400 people globally.

In addition, the business invested US$1.9 million in employee career development, training, and accreditations. This included mandatory Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) training for all employees, equipping them with practical and actionable steps to contribute towards Logicalis ESG goals.
