JSL’s Environmental Pledge: Building a Sustainable Future in IT

Introduction

The way businesses use technology has a direct impact on the world around us — from energy consumption and hardware waste to the supply chains we rely on. As organisations become increasingly aware of their environmental footprint, the role of IT in supporting sustainable business practices is more important than ever.

At JSL, we believe that making IT simple also means making it responsible. Our Environmental Pledge reflects our commitment not only to protecting the environment but also to helping UK SMEs consider sustainability as part of their IT strategy.

See GOV.UK’s guidance on making your technology sustainable for full lifecycle considerations.

Why Sustainability Matters in IT

IT is often seen as an enabler of business efficiency, but it can also be a significant source of environmental impact:

  • Energy usage from servers, data centres, and office hardware
  • E-waste from devices that are discarded instead of reused or recycled
  • Carbon footprint linked to supply chains and logistics

By embedding sustainability into IT practices, businesses can:

  • Reduce operating costs
  • Comply with regulatory standards and customer expectations
  • Strengthen brand reputation by demonstrating responsibility

According to Defra’s digital sustainability strategy, organisations will need to reduce carbon emissions, improve circular economy practices, and ensure transparency in digital supply chains by 2030.

JSL’s Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

  • Pollution prevention: Reducing waste and emissions linked to IT services and operations.
  • Resource efficiency: Helping businesses optimise IT to use less energy and extend device lifespans.
  • Continuous improvement: Measuring, auditing, and reviewing our progress regularly to ensure accountability.
  • Client partnership: Offering services that help customers assess and reduce their environmental impact through smarter IT strategies.

Practical Steps We Take

To turn our pledge into results, JSL has embedded sustainability across operations and services:

  • Recycling and responsible disposal of outdated IT equipment
  • Promoting energy-efficient devices and cloud solutions for SMEs
  • Reducing on-site travel through remote support where possible
  • Conducting internal audits to track and improve environmental performance

You can also engage with or draw on insights from the Government Digital Sustainability Alliance, which promotes best practices around sustainable ICT across government and industry.

Helping SMEs Build Greener IT

Sustainability isn’t just a corporate initiative — it’s an opportunity for SMEs to save money, reduce risk, and future-proof operations. By working with JSL, businesses can:

  • Align IT investments with sustainability goals
  • Ensure compliance with environmental standards
  • Demonstrate responsibility to customers and stakeholders

Conclusion

Environmental responsibility is not an optional extra — it’s part of building resilient, future-ready businesses. Through our Environmental Pledge, JSL is committed to reducing our impact, supporting our customers, and contributing to a more sustainable future for UK SMEs.
