Reduce CO2 Emissions and Energy Use
Making responsible choices for energy-efficient devices and optimizing the resources available can reduce the impact IT makes on the environment.
- Choose responsibly manufactured hardware and energy efficient devices
- Transform the device into a secure endpoint for cloud-based digital workspaces with IGEL OS
- Reduce power use by more than 22% with lean IGEL OS on the device*
- Replace Windows with IGEL OS to reduce power use on the device by up to 49%*
- Enable secure hybrid work to cut the commute
Use Hardware for Longer
Optimize hardware you have with lean IGEL OS to achieve great IT savings and reduce the environmental impact.
- Upgrading aging thin clients, PCs, and laptops with IGEL OS extends the lifespan of that device
- IGEL’s ecosystem of compatible solutions optimizes resources and offers a modern digital workspace
- Enable secure and quick access to apps and data from anywhere supports device sharing
Reduce e-waste
The responsible disposal of electronic waste to reduce environmental impact is a key contributor to achieving net zero targets. The world produces around $62.5 billion worth of electrical and electronic waste a year with 7% of the world’s e-waste comes from laptops, PCs, and phones 4.
- IGEL partners with services that recycle e-waste responsibly in each region
- IGEL supports social projects to reuse disposed of devices
Responsible Partnerships
- Commitment to corporate social responsibility is a core ethos of IGEL. A clear code of ethics, supply chain policies, and environmental reports are based on the sustainable development goals (SDG) set by the United Nations General Assembly.
