UN's Sustainable Development Goals
Inrego's ambition is to contribute in one way or another to all the UN's global goals, but we focus on those that are most relevant to us. Simply put, where we can contribute the most.
For Inrego, this means in particular the UN's Sustainability Goals 4, 9, 12 and 13.
4. Quality Education
More than 774 million people in the world cannot read and write. The right to education is a basic human right that many people do not have access to. It is therefore important to significantly increase the number of young people and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
Our contribution: resources are needed to meet people's needs throughout their lives and to ensure that all people have equal opportunities for lifelong learning. Inrego makes it possible for more people in society to have access to good computers and other IT equipment. We also help schools, for example, to buy more IT products.
9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Finding sustainable economic, social and environmental solutions requires new ideas, innovations and technological advances. Sustainable industries and infrastructures create new markets and jobs that can contribute to a more equitable and efficient use of resources.
Our contribution: Our business is actively working to help our customers and partners with the sustainable IT solutions of the future. By extending the lifetime of electronics, we can reduce climate impact and resource use.
12. Responsible consumption and production
Sustainable consumption and production is about using our natural resources responsibly. Achieving sustainable development requires reducing our ecological footprint by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources to minimize their negative impacts on human health and the environment. To significantly reduce the amount of waste by 2030 through measures to prevent, reduce, reuse and recycle waste.
Our contribution: Inrego's business is to ensure that IT products already manufactured are used for as long as possible. This minimizes emissions and the use of resources in production, such as chemicals, fossil fuels, raw materials and water.
13. Climate Action
Climate change and average global temperature continue to rise in line with greenhouse gas emissions. The effects of global warming are already visible, which means that we need to act through increased education and awareness, new ideas and new laws to make the necessary changes for the climate.
Our contribution: Most of the climate impact of electronics comes from production. So, by using electronics for longer, we can drastically reduce our climate impact. In 2021, together with our customers, we saved a total of 68,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Our sustainability goals
We have high ambitions! Our goal is to help our customers achieve their goals and move closer to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this, in June 2021 we presented a new global standard for environmental reporting in recycling.
