WHAT WE BELIEVE

Environmental

Sustainability and ensuring a healthy and thriving global supply chain is core to our business strategy. Our company and our culture are built upon responsible operations spanning a vast and far-reaching supply chain as well as a global footprint.

ePlus’ 2025 Climate-Related Financial Risk Report describes how we manage climate-related risks and opportunities across governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets, and how these considerations are integrated into enterprise risk management. Aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, it includes our first disclosure of Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for FY25 and evaluates climate-related impacts across our operations, customers, and value chain, including physical and transition risks and opportunities.

Limited Assurance Report

To support the accuracy and transparency of our sustainability disclosures, ePlus engaged DEKRA Certification, Inc. to independently verify our FY2025 Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory. DEKRA conducted the verification in accordance with ISO 14064-3 and issued an unmodified limited assurance opinion.

Across the ePlus portfolio of solutions and services we are committed to:

  • Operating our business in a manner that reduces our impact on the environment, reduces pollution, and protects the environment and natural resources.
  • Managing the life cycle of our products, equipment and solutions in an environmentally responsible manner, including retirement and appropriate disposal.
  • Maintaining full compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and other obligations, including considering the potential environmental impacts of daily business decision-making processes, along with opportunities for conservation of natural resources, recycling, source reduction and pollution control. We require this same compliance of our business partners.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency through Warehouse Optimization

We are committed to enhancing our operational efficiency and reducing our environmental impact by consolidating our warehouse operations into a single, modern facility. This initiative will significantly decrease our energy consumption and physical footprint. The new warehouse is outfitted with cutting-edge technologies, including motion-sensor lighting and high-efficiency heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, along with a comprehensive recycling program. These improvements are aimed at creating a more sustainable operation by optimizing energy use and minimizing waste.

Optimizing Energy Use in IT Infrastructure

We are taking decisive steps to optimize our energy use by centralizing our computer labs into one highly efficient hub. This strategic move will lead to a reduction in the number of physical labs required, thus decreasing the demand for cooling and power without compromising our operational effectiveness. The new lab will feature advancements such as energy-efficient HVAC equipment, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems designed to adjust power output based on actual energy needs, and innovative cabinet designs that require less power for cooling. These measures are designed to significantly reduce our energy consumption, contributing to our overall efforts to operate more sustainably and responsibly.

Asset Disposition

We prioritize the appropriate disposal and retirement of technology assets across our organization, ensuring that all disposition meets or exceeds approved environmental recommendations and standards. ePlus partners with organizations that hold e-Stewards, R2, and NAID AAA Certifications, demonstrating our support to help customers promote conservation, recycle and efficiently use energy, minimize impact on the environment and reduce operating costs.

As this is an important priority for us, we also help our customers with these needs, including data destruction and responsible recycling for nearly any electronic devices. Services we offer to our customers include asset reallocation, decommissioning and disposal, recycling kits, asset refresh and buy back, and inventory/serial number capture.

Office Spaces

ePlus’ office locations provide a safe and productive home base for more than 1,000 of our employees. When we look for new office space to lease, we consider the environmental footprint of that location, including whether the space has any energy-related certifications, complies with all relevant green standards such as LEED and Green Globes and has carbon emission reduction goals. Our offices typically include energy-efficient features such as LED lights that turn off automatically, energy-efficient HVAC systems and insulation ratings, and recycling receptors.
