TD SYNNEX runs on totally renewable electricity

The British distributor TD SYNNEX has said that all its UK locations are running on renewably sourced electricity.

The outfit’s Bracknell offices confirmed it has switched to a green energy tariff from National Grid.

TD SYNNEX UK was already getting 90 per cent of its power from renewable sources at its warehouse facility at Magna Park, Lutterworth, and offices in Basingstoke and Warrington.

TD SYNNEX  director of environment and quality compliance, Kevin Wragg, said: “We had set a target to get all our UK operations onto renewable electricity by the end of 2023, and we’re pleased to have achieved that goal.

“It’s vitally important that our industry continues to progress in reducing its carbon impact, and it is worth celebrating as every small step takes us a little closer to net zero.”

Efficiency gains, especially at its main Basingstoke offices, have seen TD SYNNEX reduce its energy consumption.

The distributor said its UK operation is on target to achieve its goal of achieving a 20 per cent reduction this year.

In Q1 2024, TD SYNNEX expects electric vehicle charging points at all four UK locations.

The company is working with its courier partners to reduce the carbon output of deliveries and supporting partners in their efforts to be more sustainable.

It offers partners a net zero carbon (NZC) consultancy service and makes its experts available to speak at partner events. It has partnered with Treedom and Verra (offsetting), Egencia (travel) and Climate Partners (carbon reduction).
