Case Study: Santander improves sustainability and data security with Computacenter Circular Services

Santander recycles 200 phones and 50 tablets with Computacenter

Santander, a major UK high street bank, sought to improve environmental awareness and data security while addressing the global e-waste challenge. The bank partnered with vendor Computacenter to utilize their Circular Services for a secure electronics recycling initiative aimed at its employees and the local community.

Computacenter implemented a two-day "Recycle for Good" event at Santander's headquarters, providing on-site collection and secure data sanitization for unwanted devices. The solution processed hundreds of items, including phones and laptops, which were then either remarketed to generate funds for the Santander Foundation or responsibly recycled. Computacenter delivered measurable results including heightened employee engagement, assured data security, fiscal value returned to charity, and a report detailing the positive environmental impact through carbon and water avoidance.
