SBTi status: Committed April 2023
SHI in April billed its commitment to SBTi as an “important step forward” in its ESG strategy.
The privately held, US-based reseller, which boasts annual revenues of $14bn, will now work within SBTi’s framework to build out a net zero plan. It aims to “make consistent improvements each year and to ultimately arrive to a Net Zero Carbon Emission goal in 2050”, according to its recent Sustainability and Action Report 2022.
SHI’s ESG efforts already included “extensive” solar energy production, facilities modifications and large-scale recycling programmes, it said.
Estimated Co2e footprint (2022): Scope 1: 1,224 tonnes; Scope 2: 10,626 tonnes (US only – see more information here)
EcoVadis progress
When it comes to its wider ESG strategy, SHI has participated in EcoVadis since 2012, receiving a Bronze rating in 2022.
What they said
“Making a commitment to SBTi that will lead to an approved plan to deliver carbon reduction goals is now a key pillar of our already well-established ESG strategy,”- SHI CFO James Prior.
Distinctive detail
SHI has installed over 7,000 solar panels on the roofs of its New Jersey and Austin offices, which it claims generates over 3 million kwh annually.
