In a time where sustainability and social responsibility are central to you, your customers, and us, we are happy to take a leading role in the IT distribution landscape with an ambitious ESG-journey. These plans are not only to ensure that we try to make our own operations, supply chain, and social role a little better and greener every day, but also to help you do the same. From working with solutions from vendors who put people and the planet first, to offering green alternatives for delivery and assembly — we go a step further for your organization and your customers.
An organization’s ESG-journey consists of three elements that together form the heart of every modern company, consciously or unconsciously:
TD SYNNEX sets goals at the local, European, and global levels for each of these three elements. These are coordinated with local and international ESG coordinators who are fully focused on achieving these goals and expanding them where possible.
Leave your details and/or the details of your ESG-coordinator below and we’ll keep you updated on the steps we’re taking — and how you can benefit from them.

In a world where sustainability, ethics, and good governance are becoming increasingly important, technology plays a key role. Artificial Intelligence, once the domain of futurists and techies, is increasingly penetrating the heart of business strategies. At the same time, the ESG agenda (Environmental, Social & Governance) is gaining ground, driven by regulations, investor pressure, and societal expectations.
The relationship between AI and ESG is complex but promising. AI offers enormous opportunities to accelerate ESG goals, but also raises critical questions about transparency, bias, and responsibility. In this blog, we explore the key pros and cons of AI within the ESG domain — and show you the opportunities that rapid technological development offers, along with the issues you need to consider.
Sustainability and transparency are essential in the IT sector! Want to quickly find out how much CO₂ your orders with TD SYNNEX emit? With our ESG Emissions Reporting, you can easily and free of charge request a report that provides insight into the emissions from your logistics activities with TD SYNNEX in 2024.
