Brother UK has been named as a leader in sustainability programs and services in the most recent IDC Sustainability MarketScape assessment.
The IDC report evaluates print vendors based on key sustainability metrics in corporate strategies, business operations, products and business models, and governance, risk and compliance measures.
Brother was highly rated on its efforts to minimise the environmental impact of its business activities based on the Brother Group Environmental Vision 2050, which includes ambitious, Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) certified, goals to reduce emissions by 65% on 2015 levels by 2030.
The business was also praised for its considerations of environmental performance at every stage of a product’s life cycle, from design, development and manufacturing to customer usage, disposal and recycling.
Brother also promotes the conservation and restoration of ecosystems and recently celebrated its 15-year partnership with rainforest conservation charity Cool Earth.
Louise Marshall, Director of ESG and Organisational Development at Brother UK said: “Being recognised as a leader in sustainability programs and services will help to give our customers greater confidence that they’re partnering with the right print vendor, while representing a reflection of our genuine commitment to ESG across our operation and product services.
“We’re proud to be working towards a clear, long-term global vision for a sustainable society, focused on improving resource circulation, the reduction of CO2 emissions and supporting biodiversity conservation.”
