Electronics & IT
The intensive use of IT and consumer electronics has led to a rapidly growing e-waste problem and high consumption of rare metals and raw materials. Geopolitical challenges and our dependence on electronic devices make this an industry with immense sustainability potential.
The intensive use of IT and consumer electronics has led to a rapidly growing e-waste problem and high consumption of rare metals and raw materials. Geopolitical challenges and our dependence on electronic devices make this an industry with immense sustainability potential. Sustainability in these sectors is since many years a key pillar of Hedgehog’s work.
We guide companies with challenges such as compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), developing CO₂ reduction strategies in line with the Science Based Targets initiative, carbon accounting and reporting following the GHG Protocol, and making sustainable product choices based on LCAs.
We have extensive experience in creating carbon footprints and lifecycle analyses (LCAs) of electronic products. For instance, we have developed design guides for a consumer electronics manufacturer and prepared a detailed organisational footprint and CO₂ reduction strategy for a payment provider.
For one of the world’s largest producers and refurbishers of hardware, we designed an in-house carbon footprint methodology to communicate the impact of customer orders. Additionally, for an international B2B audiovisual hardware supplier, we handle the entire CSRD preparation and implementation process.
