Sustainability initiatives aimed at colleagues and clients praised by members of the roundtable.
In his speech, Carlos Pérez-Herce also stressed the importance of involving staff in sustainability initiatives. « They’re the first to be affected by environmental and social challenges, » he explained. « So it’s important to get them involved from the outset to ensure that our projects succeed. » Econocom is committed to sustainability: the group has introduced a series of measures to reduce its environmental impact substantially, including cutting energy and water usage, using recycled and recyclable materials as well as promoting sustainable mobility.
Econocom also pledged to support its clients’ efforts to boost sustainability. The group provides a range of solutions and services that enable businesses to lower their environmental impact: refurbishing devices, leasing computer equipment and optimizing IT infrastructures.
