"Quocirca publishes research on the influence of sustainability factors on IT decision-makers when they are selecting workplace print suppliers, including sustainability considerations when modernising print infrastructure can deliver measurable reductions in the organisation's environmental footprint and costs, through waste and emissions reductions. We also monitor the progress of leading print technology suppliers in improving corporate sustainability performance. We have tracked both an acceleration of sustainability initiatives and a shift in motivations over the last year."
"Despite the changing political climate and delays in sustainability-focused regulations, our research shows that 82% of organisations are accelerating their sustainability plans. For the first time, building or improving corporate reputation is among the top three reasons for pursuing corporate sustainability initiatives, alongside the more usual drivers of operational efficiencies and meeting industry standards. As Generation Z's workplace influence grows, it seems that corporations are responding to their demand for responsible suppliers and focusing more strategically on demonstrating sustainability commitments."
"On a related note, businesses may be seeking to improve their own reputations, but they are also growing more suspicious of others' claims. Greenwashing is cited as a key challenge to reducing the environmental impact of print infrastructure, and concern has risen markedly over the past two years. Part of this stems from a historical lack of robust data on product performance, but there are encouraging signs that suppliers are addressing this issue. Environmental impact and lifecycle assessments are now"
