In the near term, the distributor will focus on purchasing 100% renewable energy through retail markets where this option is available. In 2021, Ingram Micro completed its Global Renewable Energy Roadmap, which outlines strategies for its approach to procuring renewable electricity. By cutting down on excess product movement, Ingram Micro reduced carbon emissions resulting from shipping and transportation activities. In 2021, Ingram Micro eliminated 6,000 short-haul moves by improving its cube utilization of small parcel line hauls by 25%. Ingram Micro is working to streamline supply transportation by identifying efficient order quantities, improving shipment routing from vendors to its global distribution centers and end customers, and optimizing transportation modes for both inbound and outbound shipments. The company also looks at end-of-life treatment of sold products, employee commuting, operational waste, business travel, and so on. Last year, Ingram Micro began developing a complete Scope 3 emissions inventory and will continue to track and report all relevant Scope 3 emissions, especially those where the company can have a direct impact to drive change. In total, the company has reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 19.2% since 2016. In 2021, Ingram Micro reduced Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 8.9%. Ingram Micro’s ESG group looks at a few key areas to measure impact. As a result, Ingram Micro’s partners can more confidently understand how the products and services they implement will impact the world.
For example, Ingram Micro has a team that collects, validates and analyzes data to ensure the company reaches its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals. Manufacturers and distributors have also been closely monitoring various metrics tied to responsible technology lifecycles. But they aren’t the only ones thinking about environmental impact. It’s becoming increasingly common for customers to ask about carbon emissions and sustainability before selecting a product or service.
