The Channel and the Circular Economy: Can sustainable IT ever become a reality?
Event information
Today the market for second life IT equipment is on the rise, and driven by customer demand, partners are now seeking new opportunities to help organisations reduce their carbon footprint, while increasing the resiliency and circularity of their IT equipment.
Indeed, research published by Canalys earlier this year found that 50% of partners expect to generate revenue from sustainability solutions in 2024, and that a further 92% of customers are asking partners about sustainable product procurement, including circular IT systems.
This session, featuring Schneider Electric’s recently appointed Vice President, Channels, Europe, Hanne Sjøberg its Circular Economy Director, Geoffrey Richard, and Canalys’ Senior Director, Channels, Rachel Brindley, will explore:
- The business opportunities surrounding reduce, reuse and recycle programs.
- The market for second-life IT and critical power equipment.
- The benefits of the circular economy from both a business and environmental perspective, with real-life partner and customer use-cases.
And how vendors such as Schneider Electric are helping businesses drive green initiatives and profitability by embracing the circular economy.
