PTSG has introduced a Group-wide refurbished device programme as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, operational efficiency and robust information security standards.
The initiative, led by John Bradbury, Director of IT Operations and Security, follows a comprehensive review of how end-user technology is procured, deployed and retired across the business. Rather than defaulting to new hardware as standard practice, PTSG has adopted a more considered approach; prioritising high-quality refurbished devices where appropriate.
The results are immediate and measurable.
The programme is expected to save 64,368kg of CO₂ annually, while delivering forecast cost savings of £100,000 in its first year alone. By extending asset lifecycles and reducing unnecessary waste, the Group is lowering its environmental impact without compromising on performance, reliability or security.
Every refurbished device undergoes rigorous configuration, testing and security hardening to ensure it meets PTSG’s stringent information security and data protection standards. User experience and operational resilience remain central to the programme, reflecting the Group’s disciplined approach to governance and risk management.
The initiative supports PTSG’s wider ESG framework, which focuses on carbon reduction, energy monitoring and embedding sustainable practices across all divisions. Alongside other environmental measures, including tree planting and structured carbon reduction planning, the refurbished device programme represents a practical step towards achieving long-term sustainability objectives.
John Bradbury said: “Responsible technology management is about more than procurement; it is about understanding lifecycle impact, cost discipline and security risk. This programme demonstrates that environmental responsibility and commercial performance can and should go hand in hand.”
Through initiatives such as this, PTSG continues to demonstrate that sustainability is embedded in decision-making at every level of the organisation.
