Pioneering sustainability with purpose

Agilico, the leading national workplace technology business, with a new North East office on the Team Valley, Gateshead, is leading the charge toward a sustainable future, committing to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.

The company’s ambitious growth plans are underpinned by a profound responsibility to environmental sustainability. Net zero is not just a goal; it’s a shared journey, involving the entire workforce through initiatives such as major refurbishment projects on equipment and devices, focused dedication towards improved energy management and a strategic company-wide electric vehicle project.

The centrepiece of Agilico North East’s sustainability journey is its energy-efficient office in Team Valley. This state-of-the-art facility embodies the company’s commitment to sustainability and aligns seamlessly with its broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) philosophy. Sam Saunders, Head of Marketing, highlights the office as a statement reinforcing Agilico’s position as a leading IT tech firm, showcasing ambition through scale and quality. Recently the company celebrated the new office opening as part of its Innovation Day, with the Mayor of Gateshead attending to officially open the building and meet staff, customers and suppliers.

Agilico’s commitment to transparency is evident in the new office design, incorporating advanced technologies to monitor and manage energy usage, adhering to ISO 14001 standards. The company’s dedication sets a commendable precedent for businesses, emphasising the importance of understanding and reducing one’s carbon footprint.

The sustainability ethos extends beyond Agilico’s operations, with a dedicated space in the new facility for IT device refurbishment, reducing the need for long-distance transportation and contributing to the company’s net-zero ambition. The company has an impressive track record on refurbishing and repurposing multifunctional print devices (MFDs), achieving approximately 57% emissions savings and over 667 tonnes of CO2 through re-manufactured technology. This exemplifies the company’s commitment to circular economy principles.

In addition to ensuring strong sustainability principles in its UK office spaces, Agilico leads in transforming its transportation footprint, embracing electric and hybrid vehicles. Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is strategically installed at its nationwide sites, reinforcing the commitment to cleaner transportation and renewable energy sources.
