Put ESG into Practice with Circular IT

Extend the lifespan of IT equipment and create a social impact

Sustainability and social impact are key pillars at Circlewise. We believe that organizations can make a positive contribution to both the environment and society by making smart choices regarding their IT devices.

From promoting reuse and social entrepreneurship to certified data erasure and transparent reporting: through our services, we help organizations translate their ESG goals into concrete, demonstrable results.

From ESG Goals to Tangible Impact

E – Environmental: Extend the lifespan of IT devices

The environmental impact of business IT begins with the production of new devices. By using smartphones and laptops for longer, repairing them, and repurposing them, organizations can reduce the need for new hardware.

Circlewise helps organizations make reuse a structural part of their IT strategy. Through our trade-in services, used devices are given a second life, and their residual value is maximized.

Through our Employee Buyback program, employees can purchase their company-issued laptop or smartphone at the end of its useful life. In addition, we offer Device as a Service solutions featuring refurbished smartphones and laptops, allowing organizations to opt for reuse instead of purchasing only new devices.

This is how we make circular IT practical and encourage a longer lifespan for existing hardware.

S – Social: social value through social entrepreneurship

Sustainability isn't just about the environment—it's also about people. At Circlewise, we believe it's important to create opportunities for people for whom a place in the job market isn't a given.

As a PSO 30+ certified organization, we are actively committed to inclusive employment practices and social entrepreneurship. As part of our daily operations, we provide employment opportunities to people who face barriers to the labor market.

They make a valuable contribution to processing, testing, and preparing used IT devices for reuse.

By partnering with Circlewise, organizations are not only choosing circular IT, but they are also supporting a more inclusive labor market and corporate social responsibility.

G – Governance: data security, transparency, and demonstrable impact

A responsible IT strategy requires control, reliable processes, and transparent information. Especially when business devices leave the organization, it is important that data be securely deleted and that the processing be verifiable.

Circlewise supports organizations with certified data erasure and detailed reports on the processing and reuse of their IT devices.

Through our Circlewise Portal, customers have access to data erasure certificates, processing information, and CO₂ impact reports, among other things. This allows us to provide transparency into what happens to used devices and the environmental impact attributable to their reuse.

This provides organizations with valuable information for internal accountability, audits, and sustainability reporting, and allows them to maintain control over their IT assets throughout the disposal and processing process.

Circular IT with Social Value

At Circlewise, sustainability isn't just about equipment and raw materials—it's also about people.

At our Value Labs, we provide employment opportunities to people who face barriers to the job market. They play an important role in registering, testing, securely erasing, and preparing IT equipment for reuse.

Circlewise is PSO 30+ certified. This demonstrates that social entrepreneurship is an integral part of our business operations.

By partnering with Circlewise, your organization not only contributes to a circular IT supply chain, but also to a more inclusive labor market.
