Climate Action (SDG 13)

We take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. That’s why we are implementing various climate protection measures, including the following:

Recycling, sale, and donation of used and obsolete equipment:
T-Systems Mexico has a rolling program involving donation of obsolete equipment in good condition to educational institutions, not-for-profit organizations, and foundations with limited resources in order to promote collaboration among the beneficiaries. A permanent disposal program also operates with a professional company specializing in ecofriendly recycling for end-of-life equipment. The company is certified by state and federal environmental authorities.

This is part of our permanent recycling processes, since we not only focus on the recycling of equipment and/or IT scrap, we also maintain our internal processes for recycling articles and recycling coffee capsules. Making arrangements for adequate final disposal of all items, always taking care to reduce our climate impact, promoting more environmental practices and environmental awareness provides support for associations and social causes through proper management of our waste.

We cut down energy consumption by rolling out new technologies in lighting and air systems, in conjunction with LED and smart lighting, and our LEED building. 

We promote environmental practices by making small changes which lead to great actions, such as our day without meat, which sought to raise awareness about environmental guidelines and our diet. There is also the internal campaign to reduce non-reusable containers, and potentiating the use of glasses and cups to reduce waste generation. A further internal campaign is directed toward reducing the use and consumption of paper. This targets the reduction of paper consumption, avoidance of wear and tear, and excessive use of toner cartridges.
