Softcat’s next CEO says that the business is continuing its sustainability efforts.
Graham Charlton was chosen as the channel player’s next CEO when Graeme Watt moves into the chairman role next August.
Charlton said that Softcat had continued to drive its sustainability initiatives and was determined to keep pushing for higher standards.
“We are putting a lot of time and resource into tackling this at all levels to how we report progress, but also how we understand scope three emissions – they’re not fit for purpose at the moment, and they’ve got to evolve if we’re going to get this right together,” he said.
Charlton added that the firm was weaving more measurements into the relationships it had with custiomers to spread the green message both internally and externally.
“We are working out how we evangelise that understanding across the organisation, across our sales team. We’ve built an internal tool that helps us and our customers monitor their scope one and two emissions and we can use that to train carbon literacy in the business as well.”
