The role of Responsible Business in modern organisations
Responsible Business is about embedding ethical, social, and environmental considerations into every decision, every strategy, and every action. It’s about ensuring that success is measured not just by financial performance, but by the value we create for people, communities, and the planet. For Logicalis, this means holding ourselves accountable to the highest standards, being transparent about our progress, and striving to lead by example in our industry.
By ensuring that our operations are sustainable, our culture is inclusive, and our net impact is positive, we can be good for society and the environment, not just for business. Companies that prioritise responsibility are more resilient, more innovative, and more attractive to customers and talent alike.
Logicalis’ Responsible Business achievements in FY25
Over the past year, Logicalis has made significant strides on our Responsible Business journey. Some of the highlights include:
- Achieving Carbon Neutrality – We reached carbon neutrality across all operations for scope 1 and 2 emissions ahead of our target. This milestone reflects our ongoing investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon offsetting.
- Cisco Sustainability Partner of the Year – twice! For the second consecutive year, we were named Cisco’s Sustainability Partner of the Year. This prestigious recognition is a testament to our innovative work helping customers reduce the carbon impact of their IT infrastructure, from circular IT solutions to smart buildings and sustainable managed services.
- Championing diversity and inclusive – We increased female representation in senior roles to 34%, with a robust succession pipeline supported by targeted leadership development and the launch of our first global learning management system. Our commitment to diversity extends across all levels, with region-specific initiatives to attract and retain talent from underrepresented groups.
- Community impact at scale – We donated over USD$230,000 to community projects and charities worldwide, with a focus on education, STEM, and empowering women and minority groups to enter and thrive in the technology sector. Our employees also contributed their time and expertise through volunteering initiatives, making a tangible difference in the communities where we operate.
- Driving innovation for a sustainable future – Our award-winning Digital Fabric Platform (DFP) gives customers real-time insights into the sustainability of their digital ecosystems, helping them reduce power consumption, cut emissions, and optimise their IT operations for a greener future.
Looking ahead
Being a Responsible Business is not a destination – it’s a continuous journey. At Logicalis, we are proud of the progress we’ve made, but we know there is always more to do. We remain committed to raising the bar, sharing our learnings, and working with our stakeholders to drive positive change across our industry and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. Together, we can create a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible future.
