Targets and Performance
We have surpassed most of our targeted objectives between F:19 and F:20.
Print Releaf
PrintReleaf is the world’s first platform that automatically converts your paper footprint into actual trees. As you print, you actively replant trees in forests that need it most around the world.
We are committed to continually finding ways to support a more sustainable planet and are pleased to offer our clients an automated sustainability program focussed on reforestation through PrintReleaf. As our world changes, new challenges are being faced and Apogee is extremely proud of being a contributor to the PrintReleaf reforesting initiative.
The ACE Line
Whether you're a start-up or an established company seeking new ways to fulfil your ESG goals, The ACE Line (Apogee's Circular Economy) is ideal for your needs - providing you with refurbished devices for a reduced price.
Rather than being incorrectly disposed of in a landfill - where e-waste is one of the leading sources of hazardous chemical waste - engaging with The ACE Line means that perfectly functional devices are kept within circulation.
Representing a low-risk, low-cost Managed Print solution, devices within the ACE Line still function as efficiently as any brand-new counterpart; and since they are exclusively sourced from our existing clients, our support team is armed with a full service history for each machine.
Your ESG goals are aided further with the inclusion of reforestation software PrintReleaf (see above), which is included in the total price and comes pre-installed with every device within the ACE Line.

Our Progress
In 2020 we established the Improvement Board which is made of senior managers, directors, department heads and frontline employees to promote ownership and engagement with environmental sustainability in the business.
We also delivered a couple of behavioural awareness campaigns to promote good environmental stewardship with employees. An environmental sustainability training module was launched in 2020 and will be rolled out from 2021.
Programme
We will continue to improve upon the benchmarks established in 2020:
