OUR DLM SUSTAINABILITY STORY
At 2NDGEAR , we help our customers contribute to the circular economy by preserving and extending the useful life of IT equipment through our Device Lifecycle Management ( DLM ) service . We are committed to reducing e-waste within our data destruction processes , if we cannot refurbish or recycle something , then we always engage in proper disposal methods .
Our goal is to drive efficiency gains to even higher levels and encourage others , both within our network of partners and the IT industry as a whole , to follow our lead . When we provide this service , it reduces the amount of e-waste generated from old technology , helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint .
At our core , we are a technology company . We have an acute understanding of the relationship between people , businesses , and useful technology . This understanding helps us to achieve sustainability within our DLM capabilities and solutions .
When entering into a DLM partnership with 2NDGEAR , we work closely with our clients to develop a sustainable solution – ensuring they have access to state of art equipment today while developing a roadmap to ecologically retire or extend technology in the future . We make this process extremely easy on our clients because we have our own return and refurbishment centers . The continuation and extension of useful life of our equipment keeps electronics in the hands of those who can still use it .
At the end of useful life , equipment is returned to our DLM technology center where all equipment is received , audited , and refurbished by our Microsoft A + certified technicians . Equipment that passes all necessary audits are remarketed to commercial and public sector schools , businesses , and organizations globally , and in some instances donated to various non-profit organizations .
Sustainability has been core to our business model for over 35 years . Our focus on all aspects of the technology lifecycle and ongoing investments in this area will ensure that we continue to help our clients implement and manage their technology in a conscious way .
