Sustainable IT
IGEL’s vision is to transform the way the world works, creating better outcomes for people, organizations and our planet.
IGEL helps reduce your carbon footprint by using aging hardware for longer, optimizing resources across your IT infrastructure, and reducing energy consumption which shows
a positive effect on IT budget savings.
The challenges IT faces
57 M
metric tons of e-waste in 2021 worldwide
2.5%
of global emissions comes from End User Computing 1
3%
of global power generation is consumed by EUC
83%
of a device’s total carbon footprint is generated during manufacturing 2
Steps towards a sustainable future
Responsible business practices to protect the environment are a fundamental part of our policies and partnerships. IGEL creates better outcomes for the planet through the interconnected principles of the three R’s – reducing, reusing, and recycling resources and products.
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Reduce
REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS and CONSERVE ENERGY
Making responsible choices for energy-efficient devices and optimizing the resources available can reduce the impact IT makes on the environment.
Reuse
REPURPOSE HARDWARE
Reuse the resources you already own through repurposing and optimizing greatly reduces the environmental impact.
Recycle
Reduce e-waste
The responsible management of IT asset disposal reduces e-waste in landfills and the associated adverse affects on human health. Recycling precious metals and minerals used in devices reduces the demand for mining natural resources.
Responsible Partnerships
IGEL’s partners HP, Lenovo, and LG Business Solutions use sustainable practices to reduce carbon footprint

IT and sustainability in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland 2022
Work from anywhere
with IGEL OS
Flexible work models reduce commuting emissions and office energy consumption, while increasing flexibility for employees.
FREE YOUR PEOPLE, BE KIND TO THE PLANET
Let your people use their endpoint devices of choice wherever they wish, by supporting flexible and energy-saving work styles.
Extend the lifespan of devices
Repurposing hardware with IGEL OS to connect to the cloud reduces the number of devices sent to landfill, manufacturing energy consumption, and the mining of natural resources and mineral elements used for chips and boards.
IGEL Earth Day
Every day is earth day, but each year on April 22nd the world comes together to collectively contemplate how we can leave the planet in better shape for future generations. Tech can do its part as well to help care for this wonderful planet that sustains us so well.
Optimize End User Computing
IGEL OS and cloud technologies enable users to work on smaller, low energy devices such as laptops, thin clients or Raspberry PI endpoints, supporting BYOD strategies. This reduces the need for power-hungry desktops.
Adopt a hybrid cloud strategy
IGEL OS accelerates access to any cloud-delivered digital workspace. Using public cloud services to move workloads to the cloud can offload the environmental impact of maintaining power hungry enterprise data centers.
