Many IT manufacturers now offer sustainable products products. Sustainability is taken into account during development and production as well as in terms of recyclability and disposal.
The products themselves are developed in such a way that, for example, they consume less and less electricity. For example, the consumption of a modern printer of the latest generation is now less than one percent compared to the 1980s. less than one percent. The same applies to other IT devices.
We would be happy to advise you on the use of sustainable IT products in your company.

What other companies say about Green IT at IT-Haus
For us, sustainability is not just a word, but a fundamental attitude. This is how responsibility,self-controlandsensitivity in dealing with different needsare elementary components of our actions. As a modern company, we are aware of our responsibility towards our employees, business partners and the environment and are prepared to actively assume this responsibility. In 2022, the aspects of sustainability were successively integrated into the existing management system. This was based on the requirements of ISO 26000.
Ourprinciples of sustainabilityare set out as binding rules of conduct in ourCode of Conductas binding rules of conduct.
As part of an implementedenvironmental management systemwe annually evaluate, assess and monitor the impact of our activities, services and products on people and the environment throughout their entire life cycle.
Our focus here is very clearly on measures toreduction of the emission of CO₂-equivalents(CO₂e), which we quantify. To achieve this goal, we are, for example, expanding our home office agreements, increasingly relying on dropshipping (direct shipping of products via third-party providers), gradually switching to e-mobility and reducing our packaging material to a minimum.
In addition to ecological (in harmony with economic) aspects, we also take into accountsocial aspectsThe number of trainees, the proportion of women in management positions and the average age of our employees.Annual sustainability targetsare defined quantitatively, corresponding measures are derived from them and their implementation is evaluated at least once a year. Our aim is not only to meet the targets we have set ourselves, but to exceed them.exceed them.
