# Circular Economy

#### Building a sustainable future

[Environmental Stewardship

Commencing our commitment to the environment, we’ve established an ESG Steering Group and achieved accreditation for our Environmental Management System (ISO 14001)

In our sustainable practices, we use DocuSign to reduce client visits, implemented LED Lighting in Ely, and adopted technology for energy efficiency. We also promote increased work-from-home flexibility, with use of online tools such as Teams and SharePoint.

Leading in sustainable transportation, we’ve shifted over 84% of company vehicles to hybrid or electric, with 100% of our field technicians’ vehicles being hybrid. Our Head Office now features 10 PodPoint EV charging stations, and  actively encourage carpooling among company car drivers.

### **Embrace Sustainability with ASL’s Environmental Print Assessment (EPA) and Recertified Technology**

At ASL, we’re committed to empowering institutions with sustainable solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also minimise environmental impact. With our Environmental Print Assessment (EPA) and dedication to recertified technology, we offer a holistic approach to sustainability in print infrastructure.

#### **Environmental Print Assessment (EPA)**

 

Our EPA is designed to provide customers with a comprehensive analysis of their print infrastructure, focusing on environmental impacts alongside technological advancements. By examining factors such as power usage, consumable item consumption, and overall carbon footprint, we enable customers to make informed decisions that align with their sustainability goals.

 

#### Through our EPA customers can:

Reduce Environmental Footprint** By optimising print operations and adopting eco-friendly practices, customers can significantly decrease their carbon footprint.

Enhance Efficiency** The EPA identifies areas for improvement, allowing customers to streamline print processes and reduce waste.

Promote Environmental Stewardship** By embracing sustainable print solutions, customers show their commitment to environmental stewardship.

#### **Recertified Technology**

 

In addition to our EPA, ASL offers recertified/second-life technology as part of our commitment to sustainability. We understand that re-used technology has a much lower carbon footprint than newly manufactured equipment. By offering a balanced deployment of new and recertified technology, we provide customers with a truly sustainable offering.

 

 

#### The benefits of recertified technology:

Lower Environmental Impact**  Recertified technology reduces waste and energy consumption associated with manufacturing, contributing to a greener future.

Cost-Effective Solutions**

Recertified equipment offers cost savings without compromising on quality or performance.

Circular Economy Contribution** By extending the life of existing equipment, schools participate in the circular economy, promoting resource efficiency and waste reduction.
