Eco-friendly home offices – an opportunity for dealers

With employees becoming increasingly eco-conscious, businesses are seeking ways to extend sustainability practices to remote and homeworkers

Dealers can seize a valuable opportunity by assisting customers in achieving their eco-objectives through the provision of homeworking products that prioritize sustainability. This not only aligns with customer’s environmental goals but also supports the trend towards flexible and agile working.       

Energy-efficient technology

Dealers can play a pivotal role in guiding customers toward energy-efficient decisions by demonstrating expert knowledge of energy ratings for all electrical and ICT equipment. This empowers customers to make informed choices on products that have a higher life expectancy, cost less to run and will cut down on WEEE waste.

Additionally, dealers can support clients in embracing a paperless environment by aiding in the digitisation of documents utilising scanner technology. Numerous scanners on the market facilitate seamless document sharing via cloud accounts and user-friendly apps, simplifying collaboration with remote workers.

Suitable for travel

Businesses can champion eco-friendly initiatives in the workplace by providing employees with equipment that promotes sustainable travel. Dealers can play a key role by presenting alternatives to traditional carry cases and laptop bags, such as laptop storage solutions or carriers designed for bicycle transport. Offering products such as laptop bags produced using sustainable, recycled materials adds further eco-credentials.

When it comes to being in and out of the office, dealers can support customers by ensuring their employees are equipped with the right audio-visual tools for efficient online meetings. Facilitating seamless communication through proper technology not only enhances productivity but also contributes to reducing the need for unnecessary commuting.

Consider equipment maintenance

As the global mindset shifts from disposability to reusability, it’s crucial for businesses to provide remote workers with the right equipment to maintain their home offices, preventing breakages and malfunctions. Extending the life cycle of products not only reduces unnecessary waste but also keeps items out of landfills. Dealers have an opportunity to boost sales by suggesting complementary products that aid remote workers in maintaining their equipment.

Simple solutions, such as cable tidies and clips for neatly organising electrical wires, contribute to reducing wear and tear on office equipment, maximising their overall usage. Screen cleaning and air duster products designed for computers can help keep them working smoothly for longer and work well as a bundled package.

Assisting customers in integrating sustainability into the setup and supply of remote employee equipment allows dealers to align themselves with their customers’ eco-conscious ethos. This positions dealers as knowledgeable and integrity-driven environmentally friendly suppliers, fostering a reputation that can lead to increased sales and enhanced customer retention.
