OUR DLM SUSTAINABILITY STORY

At Red8 , 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 . 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 Red8 , we work closely with our clients to develop a sustainable solution – ensuring they have access to state-of-the-art equipment today while developing a roadmap for the life of the asset tomorrow . We make this process extremely easy on our clients because we operate within our own technology centers . The continuation and extension of useful life of our equipment keeps electronics in the hands of those who can still use it .
During the DLM cycle , equipment is returned to our DLM technology center where all equipment is received , audited , and redistributed to our DLM clients . Equipment that passes all necessary audits at end of life are either recycled or 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 .
