Brother UK has been named as a ‘leader’ in sustainability programs and services in the most recent IDC Sustainability MarketScape assessment
The business technology and solutions provider has been recognised for initiatives such as its “Brother Group Environmental Vision 2050” commitment and remanufacturing capabilities in the new report, which assesses the sustainability programs and services of print vendors using the IDC MarketScape model.
The IDC report evaluates print vendors based on key sustainability metrics in corporate strategies, business operations, products and business models, and governance, risk and compliance measures.
Brother was highly rated on its efforts to minimise the environmental impact of its business activities based on the “Brother Group Environmental Vision 2050”, which includes ambitious, Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) certified, goals to reduce emissions by 65% on 2015 levels by 2030.
The business was also praised for its considerations of environmental performance at every stage of a product’s life cycle, from design, development and manufacturing to customer usage, disposal and recycling. It follows the business recently becoming the first print brand to be awarded the Blue Angel certification for a remanufactured toner cartridge.
Louise Marshall, director of ESG and organisational development at Brother UK said: “Partnering with sustainable suppliers is a top priority for businesses. Being recognised as a leader in sustainability programs and services will help to give our customers greater confidence that they’re partnering with the right print vendor, while representing a reflection of our genuine commitment to ESG across our operation and product services.
“We’re proud to be working towards a clear, long-term global vision for a sustainable society, focused on improving resource circulation, the reduction of CO2 emissions and supporting biodiversity conservation.”
