Environmental Policy

- Updated January, 2026

KRCS are an approved Apple partner and reseller; we sell, distribute, repair and support Apple products across our Consumer, Commercial, and Education markets. We also provide a range of managed services and training to help customers get the best from the technology we supply. Although our head office is based in Nottingham, we support customers nationally and understand that our activities and operations have an impact on the environment through energy use, emissions, consumption of resources, generation of waste, and our wider value chain.

We accept that it is our responsibility to conduct business in an environmentally considerate and sustainable way. Senior management remain fully committed to this principle and will continue to take all reasonably practicable steps to reduce our environmental impact. This revised Environmental Policy reflects our updated position following the publication of our Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP), including our formal commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.

Our Commitments

Avoiding Pollution & Continuous Improvement

We will avoid pollution wherever possible and continue to review our activities to minimise harmful environmental impacts, including those relating to energy, waste, transport, and supply chain emissions. We will seek opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 inline with the reduction targets set out in our CRP.

Compliance with Legislation & Standards

We wholly support and comply with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations, and codes of practice. Our Integrated Environmental Management System, based on the requirements of ISO 14001, remains central to how we monitor, review and improve our performance.

Awareness, Training & Engagement

We will continue to promote environmental awareness among our employees and encourage environmentally responsible working practices. This includes supporting flexible working, reducing travel where practical, and encouraging sustainable commuting options such as electric vehicles, cycling and car sharing.

Sustainable Procurement & Lifecycle Thinking

Where possible, we will purchase goods and services that cause less harm to the environment, selecting low‑carbon and local suppliers where feasible. We will continue to consider the lifecycle environmental impact of the products and services we provide, including reuse, recycling and responsible disposal.

Energy & Natural Resource Efficiency

We will reduce energy and water consumption wherever we can, through energy‑efficient equipment, smart controls, upgraded heating and cooling systems, and continued optimisation of our IT and building infrastructure.

Waste Reduction & Recycling

We will minimise waste through reuse and recycling and will continue to offer like‑for‑like WEEE take-back for our customers. We will partner with responsible IT asset disposal firms and expand internal recycling where possible.

Carbon Reduction Plan Alignment

Following the publication of our full Carbon Reduction Plan, we will specifically work toward:

• Achieving Net Zero by 2050, with interim targets of 30% emissions reduction by 2030 and 70% emissions reduction by 2040.
• Reducing Scope 1 emissions through full transition of our vehicle fleet to electric or hybrid by 2030, alongside installation of EV charging infrastructure.
• Eliminating gas‑powered heating systems and replacing them with low‑carbon alternatives.
• Maintaining 100% certified renewable electricity and continuing to improve energy efficiency within our offices and IT systems.
• Expanding hybrid/remote working and encouraging lower‑carbon travel.
• Working with our suppliers and distribution partners to prioritise low‑carbon logistics and improved transparency of upstream emissions.
• Continuing to implement and review carbon reduction projects across operations as technology, infrastructure and best practice evolve.

Monitoring, Review & Reporting

We will track our environmental performance, including our carbon emissions, through defined objectives and targets which form part of our Integrated Management System. Results will be reviewed at senior level, communicated across the business, and reported publicly within our annual Carbon Reduction Plan updates.

This policy will be reviewed annually, or sooner if required by operational, legal or environmental changes.
