Sustainability

We work to reduce our environmental impact — from the design and provision of our products, to the operation of our facilities, to our selection of like-minded suppliers — so future generations can prosper.

Our sustainability strategy

We believe that being a responsible corporate citizen is central to our purpose and values, allowing us to inspire trust among our business partners and motivate team members to make the right choices for our business, our communities, and our planet. Our interest in the environment goes beyond the mandates of governmental regulation. We actively engage our team members, business partners, customers, and others in finding ways to reduce the environmental impact of our operations.

Improved designs that are more efficient

We design products and services around sound environmental practices so that they are modular, resource efficient, contain fewer hazardous materials and use less energy than predecessors.

Increased density uses less raw materials

One of our primary motivations in design is to increase processing and channel density, while using smaller form factors for products. This not only promotes lower energy consumption, but also reduces the amount of materials used in production.

Higher performance using less energy

We continue to incorporate the latest generations of semiconductors, which use lower power, deliver higher performance, enhance efficiency, and contribute to overall system sustainability.

“When it comes to reducing e-waste, COTS equipment offers a longer lifespan and greater versatility than older modular equipment. As infrastructure transitions to ST 2110, COTS equipment can be repurposed — rather than rendered obsolete — an approach that not only reduces e-waste, but also represents a proactive decision to invest in sustainable technology solutions.”
