Environment

We care for the environment

At EET we are very aware of our environmental footprint and we are determined to reduce the impact of our activities on the climate. Learn more about our many initiatives here.

CO2 footprint

Focus on minimizing emissions

Definitions of GHG emissions are based on the GHG Protocol corporate standard and they are measured based on various inputs from each country such as invoiced electricity/heating, freight, travel, company cars, etc. Where possible, we gradually incorporate initiatives to minimize our CO2 footprint.

The EET forest

One million trees

At the beginning of 2021, EET took the Million Tree Pledge and committed to planting one million trees by 2025. Since then, we have planted one tree for every five shipments leaving the EET warehouses. With around 1.1 million outbound shipments a year, we have planted more than 220,000 trees annually – that’s an area the size of two tennis courts every day! In addition to this, we have completed several annual initiatives, inviting our suppliers to stand together and grow the EET forest by donating trees to our cause. In May 2023, the collective efforts of EET and our suppliers made it possible to reach a remarkable milestone of 1 million trees planted in the EET forest in just a few years. However, the work doesn't stop there, and we will continue our efforts to protect the environment by planting more trees in collaboration with our valued suppliers.

Right to repair

Extending life of electronic devices

EET has been a leading player in the spare parts market for decades. We enable manufacturer EU “Right to Repair” Regulations compliance by offering easy and fast access to spare parts. By extending the lifespan of electronic products, EET contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to the rapid growth of technology hardware.

Reduce plastics in products packaging

Sustainable packaging

Plastic waste has become a huge problem across the globe and packaging generates the most plastic waste of any sector. In EET, we are focused on reducing plastic in the product packaging chain and very aware of our responsibility of reducing our environmental footprint.

Reduce transport packaging

Green packaging

We have introduced new packaging compressors significantly reducing the number of annual waste pickups from 40-50 to 6-8 times a year, thus reducing transportation and carbon emissions.

Reduce and recycle waste

Why waste it?

We want to contribute to reducing and recycling waste. We use plastic waste compressors to improve the recyclability of this type of waste. Our efforts are aimed at optimising and reducing packaging and other types of waste as well.

Optimise transportation

Transportation in focus

We continuously work with our transportation partners on the climate impact of transport and shipping. We expect them to provide carbon footprint data related to our activities so we can continue to improve.

Reduce energy consumption

Save energy!

We have a focus on reducing energy consumption such as electricity and heating. Where feasible, we update our electrical and heating installations to become more energy efficient.

Company cars

Driving change

We do not have a large company car fleet, but in the effort to drive change and reduce fossil fuels, our largest entities have introduced requirements regarding fuel efficiency of company cars as well as encouraging the use of electric vehicles.

TCFD report

The core activities of EET is to source, stock, sell and ship products and as such EET is not involved in either design, development, production or physical transportation which will be undertaken by subcontractors and vendors. The increasing probability and impact of climate-related risks and opportunities do inevitably require a focused review of EET’s governance, strategy, risk management and measurements in the climate-related area. These elements and considerations are described in our TCFD report.
