Creating a cleaner, more responsible future for digital business

Every organisation is under pressure to reduce its environmental impact. Stakeholders, customers and regulatory bodies expect businesses to act responsibly, understand their emissions and take meaningful steps to address them. Technology has a major role to play in this, both as a source of carbon emissions and as an enabler of sustainable change. At FUTERA, we help businesses make smarter decisions about their technology and we operate our own services with sustainability at the centre

Why sustainability in technology matters

Digital transformation brings many benefits, but it also creates a larger environmental footprint if it is not managed responsibly. Energy consumption, hardware manufacturing, logistics, printing and end of life disposal all contribute to your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. As supply chain expectations continue to rise, organisations must demonstrate that they work with partners who understand these challenges and actively support emission reduction.

Sustainable technology is not just about efficiency. It is about trust, responsibility and future readiness. When a business takes meaningful steps to reduce its environmental impact, it strengthens its reputation, improves operational performance and meets the expectations of customers, investors and regulators.

Responsible technology from responsible suppliers

FUTERA works with manufacturers and partners who take sustainability seriously. The devices we supply meet recognised standards, including Energy Star compliance, and are designed to reduce energy consumption and support responsible usage. From workstation hardware to print devices, we prioritise suppliers with strong environmental practices, transparent reporting and clear commitments to lowering carbon output during manufacturing.

Many of the modern laptops and desktops we deploy are produced using recycled materials, energy efficient components and lower impact processes. This ensures that sustainability is considered from the moment a device is built, not only when it reaches the workplace.

Reducing carbon across the supply chain

Sustainability is not only about the hardware. It is also about how it reaches your business and how it is supported. FUTERA has designed its services to reduce unnecessary carbon output across the entire lifecycle of your technology. Our engineers are regionally based to reduce road time and lower fuel usage.

Our logistics operations are planned to minimise vehicle journeys, and we consolidate toner and consumable shipments so couriers do not make unnecessary repeat visits. Every step is designed to minimise avoidable emissions while ensuring your business receives reliable and timely support.

Smarter printing, better outcomes

Printing plays a significant role in the carbon footprint of many organisations. FUTERA provides devices and software that reduce energy usage, minimise paper waste and encourage responsible document handling.

From rules based printing to secure release and cloud print workflows, we help organisations reduce consumption without affecting productivity. Our managed print services also extend the life of existing equipment where possible, which reduces premature disposal and avoids the carbon impact of fast replacement cycles.

They supply and manage 650+ remote workers with a managed print service ensuring they always have access to support and consumables whenever they need it. It’s taken a big overhead away from our I.T. department and saved us a lot of money in the process too.”

We have a heavy focus on security and they always adhere to our processes. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to any security-conscious organisation!”

I’ve got the best print solution now!”
