In 2015 all the United Nations Member States agreed on 17 global goals to be achieved by 2030, aimed to eliminate poverty and hunger, put human rights into practice, achieve equality and empowerment for women and girls and guarantee enduring protection of the planet and its natural resources.

We aim to actively contribute to achieving the global goals by focusing on the ones that are most relevant to our operations and strategy and, where we as a company can have the greatest impact. For us, these are goals 5, 8, 12, 13, and 16.

SDG 5: Gender Equality

• Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
• Examples of Dustin’s contribution to UN global goal 5
• Associated SDG targets we support: 5.1 & 5.c

Our policy framework:
Our Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct prohibit discrimination against women or on any other discriminatory ground. We have adopted policies and processes in order to strengthen the empowerment of women. Diversity and equality are material areas for Dustin. 

Our progress towards targets 5.1 & 5.c:At the end of 2024/25 our gender balance (women/men) at the senior level was 30/70 (29/71) and within the entire organisation 28/72 (27/73).

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

• Ensure sustainable consumption and production of products and services, as well as use resources efficiently
• Examples of Dustin’s contribution to UN global goal 12
• Associated SDG targets we support: 12.2 & 12.4

Our offering:
We help reduce climate impact and resource use by extending the life of IT products. That’s why we encourage customers to return equipment they no longer use. Products that are still functional are refurbished and resold for reuse. Items that cannot be reused undergo secure data erasure and responsible material recycling. We also offer complementary lifecycle services such as pre-configuration and installation, repairs and upgrades, and traceable reporting. We always prioritise reuse over recycling.

Our progress towards targets 12.2 and 12.4:
By the end of 2024/25, we had taken back nearly 1 million IT products.
