At TD SYNNEX, we believe sustainability is more than a commitment—it’s a way of working, leading, and partnering with purpose. This Earth Day, we’re proud to shine a light on the progress we’re making across our global operations, and more importantly, the people and partnerships that are driving that progress forward.

“This April, TD SYNNEX proudly celebrates Earth Month—a time to strengthen our commitment to environmental sustainability and recognize the impact we can make together. No matter where you live, every action—big or small—contributes to a healthier planet for future generations.”

– Adam Rutstein, Vice President of Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability, TD SYNNEX

As part of our Earth Month celebration, we’re showcasing three videos that offer insight into how we bring sustainability to life—through industry collaboration, community partnerships and a culture of everyday action.

🎥 VIDEO: Fireside Chat with Arbor Day Foundation

In this heartfelt discussion with Jeff Ashford from the Arbor Day Foundation, TD SYNNEX highlights this new partnership aimed at enhancing sustainability efforts through tree planting initiatives. Jeff shares his inspiring journey into sustainability and the impactful work the organization is doing globally. The collaboration promises to drive meaningful change and make a significant environmental impact, with a focus on water stewardship, carbon offsets, and community engagement.

🎥 VIDEO: Fireside Chat with Belkin

This conversation with Ernie Roberts, Head of Global Sustainability at Belkin, dives into how supplier partnerships can amplify climate action. Belkin’s transparency around its carbon footprint, and TD SYNNEX’s commitment to net-zero by 2045, come together in a shared vision of responsible technology. The discussion underscores how collaborative supply chain transformation can drive lasting industry impact.

🎥 VIDEO: A Look Back at Our Global Impact in 2024

This energizing highlight reel features our co-workers around the world making sustainability personal—planting trees, reducing waste, and participating in Green Team initiatives. It’s a vivid reminder that small actions, when multiplied across our 23,000+ co-workers, add up to meaningful change.

🌱 Sustainability in Action: How We’re Making a Difference

These videos are just the beginning. Our commitment to sustainability is deeply embedded in our Corporate Citizenship program and rooted in tangible goals:

Net-Zero by 2045: Our science-based targets include a 42% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030 and engagement with suppliers and customers to help them do the same.
Circular Economy Champions: Through TD SYNNEX Renew, PCW, and Shyft Global Services, we’re keeping more devices in circulation and out of landfills—saving over 523 metric tons of product and 25 metric tons of materials last year alone.
Sustainable Logistics: From solar-powered warehouses to low-emission freight partnerships, we’re optimizing our transportation operations to cut emissions and costs.
Education and Engagement: Nearly 40 Green Teams globally are driving local sustainability projects, while hundreds of co-workers and partners have earned sustainability badges through our ESG learning modules.

Throughout Earth Month and beyond, our Corporate Citizenship program will zero-in on priorities such as the Circular Economy, where the focus is on reducing e-waste and maximizing the lifecycle of products. We’ll also drive progress through expanded renewable energy usage, greener logistics and responsible recycling practices. We’ll also continue to explore and engage with partnerships like the one we have with Human I-T where we’re diverting harmful electronics from landfills.
