Our success shows that sustainability is not an ideology that requires people to go without. Instead, it is an opportunity for growth.

Technology Center Groß-Gerau

Sustainability put into practice

Nowhere else is the success of CHG-MERIDIAN’s lifecycle management model more evident. Here, in the larger of the company’s two technology centers, IT assets returned after the first use phase at the customer are given a second life. Demand for these services in Gross-Gerau has increased so much that the center was expanded by 2,000 square meters last year.

Lifecycle-Management

A partner in the fight against climate change

The data centers run by Green Mountain are some of the most environmentally friendly in the world. In addition, the Norwegian company offers its customers numerous sustainable services – thanks to a partnership with CHG-MERIDIAN.

Circular economy

A second life for laptops and other devices

The technology center in Skien in Norway is an important driver of the circular economy at CHG-MERIDIAN. Much like at the site in Gross-Gerau in Germany, used equipment is refurbished here and prepared for further use. This is how the end of the IT lifecycle becomes a new beginning.

Interview with Group Sustainability Officer

How to become climate neutral?

CHG-MERIDIAN's first sustainability report was published in April this year. Herewith, the company transparently demonstrates the measures it has already taken and the ambitious goals it has set for itself for the future. One of these is climate neutrality from 2021. Matthias Steybe, Group Sustainability Officer (GSO) at CHG-MERIDIAN, explains in an interview how this is to be achieved and what is required for the process.

Sustainability is a must

According to a recent IW study, needs-based IT usage could contribute to save additional resources worth up to €10 billion in Germany alone. At a time when we are setting the course for the future, it makes sense to seek out sustainable alternatives with a view to reducing costs and ensuring future competitiveness.
