TechBrain’s Commitment To Sustainability

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. This is a set of standards that considers what impact a company has on its staff, customers and the community. At Techbrain, ESG is important to build a more sustainable future for both the business and our world.

We’ve invested time in understanding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and are proud to be focusing on making a difference with respect to the following:

Committed to Being a Leader in the Fight to Stop Climate Change

TechBrain measures our own carbon emissions, including that related to the IT equipment we transport to our customers. We have considered ways in which we can reduce our carbon emission, for example through the energy we use (including ways to reduce it through simple measures such as installing motion sensors and timers) and by locating ourselves close to our customers then using public transport where sensible.

We have offset the remainder by supporting the highest quality, third party validated carbon reduction and offset projects in the world that are fighting climate change now.

TechBrain Helps our Customers go Carbon Free

Our customers can join the Carbon Free Product Certification Program which ensures that the carbon emissions associated with IT equipment you purchase from TechBrain are offset.
