Logicalis Achieves Major Sustainability Milestones

Logicalis, a leading global provider of technology services, has recently announced significant progress in its FY25 Responsible Business Report. Through targeted initiatives focused on environmental, social, and community impacts, the company has demonstrated measurable advancements in sustainability and community engagement.

Carbon Neutrality Ahead of Schedule

One of the most notable accomplishments is Logicalis's achievement of carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, significantly ahead of its established timeline. Over the past year, the company successfully reduced its emissions by 10% from a 2022 baseline. This milestone was accomplished through a combination of strategic initiatives, including the adoption of renewable energy sources, acquiring verified carbon offsets, and implementing emission reduction plans tailored to each operational country.

Advancing Sustainable Innovation for Clients

In addition to its internal initiatives, Logicalis has played a crucial role in helping clients meet their sustainability goals. The enhancement of the Digital Fabric Platform (DFP), driven by AI, has been pivotal in providing clients with real-time insights on their digital ecosystem's performance across five key measures, including sustainability. The platform offers actionable recommendations for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Furthermore, Logicalis has introduced circular IT solutions, high-efficiency network transformations, and smart building integrations, further pushing the envelope on sustainable practices within the tech industry.

Logicalis's efforts in supporting its clients' carbon reduction strategies were recognized with the award of Cisco's Global Partner of the Year for Sustainability for two consecutive years, underscoring the value of its contributions.

Impacting Communities Positively

Logicalis's commitment to responsible business practices has reinforced its dedication to diversity, inclusion, and skill development. The company has invested $232,000 in community programs, with 21 projects focused on education benefiting over 500 recipients. Significant initiatives include:

• - Logicalis Scholarships in South Africa: Funding 22 scholarships for STEM qualifications.
• - Grad Girls in Australia: Mentoring for 40 female graduates who participated in industry challenges.
• - Apadrina TIC in Spain: Granting seven scholarships and mentorship opportunities to financially disadvantaged STEM students.

Empowering Future Leaders

Employee development remains a top priority for Logicalis, with female representation in leadership positions increasing from 29% to 34% over FY25. The number of women in succession planning rose from 17% to 29%. Additionally, 210 employees engaged in leadership training programs, coinciding with the launch of a new global learning management system that delivered 1,651 training days.

Bob Bailkoski, CEO of Logicalis, emphasized, "Commitment to responsible business is at the core of our organization. Achieving carbon neutrality ahead of schedule illustrates that sustainability and business growth go hand in hand. Alongside this achievement, we take pride in increasing female representation in leadership and executing outstanding educational community projects. These accomplishments reflect a real impact on our planet, workforce, and the communities we serve."

Looking forward, as technology continues to evolve rapidly, Logicalis is determined to remain a positive force. The company is enhancing community initiatives, doubling down on energy efficiency efforts, and accelerating the adoption of renewable energy.

A Comprehensive Governance Framework

All of Logicalis's accomplishments are grounded in a comprehensive governance framework for responsible business practices. Global councils recommend strategies through the parent company, Datatec, ensuring balanced decision-making that considers environmental and social impacts while also addressing profitability and stakeholder needs—employees, clients, suppliers, the environment, and local communities.
