Lexel has incorporated sustainability broadly across people and culture, technology, systems and processes. Lexel actively

• seeks out and recommends new products that offer improved efficiency ratings and eco-friendly innovation.
• ensures sustainability is integrated into our long-term strategy, our governance processes, and our business planning and performance management cycles
• continues to build Lexel’s reputation for supporting sustainability

Lexel is committed to dramatically reducing company travel, vehicle emissions and improve fuel efficiency. Recent investment allows us to remotely maintain and manage many of our projects and customer sites. Additionally, the company’s vehicle fleet has been standardised on fuel efficient Toyotas with low emission ratings.

Lexel has taken a number of steps to actively conserve energy:

• Server virtualisation has dramatically reduced our physical server footprint and improved computing capacity utilisation
• Inactive printers and PCs are maintained in sleep mode; and air conditioning units operate according to timers, limiting their operation. Where possible, such as warehouses, external openings to provide indoor/outdoor airflow will further reduce dependencies on air conditioning
• Light bulbs are replaced with energy efficient units. The use of natural lighting has minimised artificial lighting

Lexel’s integration and logistics centre pursues an end-to-end lifecycle approach to infrastructure and hardware acquisition and disposal.

• Returning obsolete technology to lease companies or other designated parties
• Reselling old products that still retain some economic life
• Donating equipment to schools and charities (on client request)
• And breaking down and recycling products at the end of their economic life
