Waste reduction
Synnex focuses on waste management by implementing garbage classification, resource recycling, and promoting eco-friendly tableware and shopping bags. We encourage waste reduction among employees and support recycling and reuse of packaging to minimize waste. Since 2024, the Taipei headquarters launched a monthly “Office Supplies Clean-Up” campaign, promoting a “Lightweight Relocation” mindset. As a result, waste volumes remained stable during the move to the new headquarters, with no significant increase.
Since 2013, Synnex has been cooperating with the Environmental Protection Agency's 「Buy New, Replace Old, and Recycle Used Machines」initiative, Its subsidiary, Syn Logistics, helps recycle old appliances during new installations, demonstrating strong social responsibility and commitment to environmental protection:
-Reduce the risk of environmental pollution: ensure that discarded household appliances are properly recycled and disposed of
-Enhance resource efficiency and lower carbon emissions: by utilizing reverse logistics for recycling waste machines to save energy and reduce carbon emissions .
-Recycling creates economic value: In 2024, 8,199 scrapped machines will be recycled. Promote resource recycling through producer responsibility and sustainable management to achieve waste reduction and zero waste.
