Article Creating a More Sustainable Workforce with APC

Sustainability continues to be a top priority for businesses for many reasons. On the surface, it can help lower total cost of ownership with energy efficiencies, promote positive environmental impacts, and generally make a company more attractive to work for. However, APC takes sustainability as a commitment beyond this.

APC is a global leader in sustainability with 75% of their products, services and solutions falling under their Green Premium^™ label. These products are cost effective, energy efficient and offer material and resource transparency.

What is APC Green Premium?

APC developed Green Premium in 2008 to provide transparent information on hazardous substances, environmental impact and end-of-life instructions for hardware. This evolved into what Green Premium is today — a leading sustainability resource for data center products and solutions.

APC Green Premium labeled products, services and solutions provide information on an asset’s regulatory compliance, material content and environmental impact. These assets are designed to help you and your business lower emissions, reduce total cost of ownership and introduce transparency into your environmental impact.

The foundations of sustainable performance

When researching sustainability options for your business, it’s important to consider three things — resource performance, circular performance and well-being performance. These three things represent a product’s emissions and CO2 impact, cost of ownership and material transparency.

You want to find technology tools that help you reduce emissions and costs, and use sustainable resources. Below are the foundations of Green Premium label products.

CO2 and P&L impact

Green Premium improves resource efficiency throughout an asset’s lifecycle, including an efficient use of energy and natural resources and minimization of CO2 emissions.

Cost of ownership optimization

APC optimizes the total cost of ownership for businesses by providing IoT-enabled solutions and offering upgrade, repair, retrofit and remanufacture services.

Peace of mind

All APC Green Premium products go beyond regulatory compliance with step-by-step substitution of certain materials and substances.
