Promoting sustainable futures

Working with Lenovo, the University of Waikato is taking big steps to reduce the environmental impact of its ICT services.

Customer Problem

Committed to sustainable practices on campus, the University of Waikato’s ICT services team is always looking for ways to reduce its impact on the environment.

Lenovo Solution

Together, the university and Lenovo have taken several important steps to reduce emissions from shipping, minimize packaging waste, and manage its carbon footprint by leveraging ocean freight, bulk packaging, and CO₂ Offset Services.

“Sustainability wasn’t just an afterthought or an add-on service, but a core component of Lenovo’s products and services.”

Business Impact

The university has offset 725.5 tons of CO₂ to date and switching from air to ocean freight has reduced transportation emissions by 310%.
