Managed IT services provider OryxAlign has published its latest ESG annual report, recording a 45.7 per cent reduction in total emissions in 2024–25, down from 131.4 tCO₂e to 71.4 tCO₂e, through operational improvements, expanded Scope 3 reporting and verified carbon offset and removal activity. Carbon intensity also fell, reflecting greater efficiency as the business grows.
The report comes at a significant moment for the IT sector. Recent analysis from the International Energy Agency shows data centre electricity consumption rose 17 per cent in 2025, well outpacing global electricity growth, driven by accelerating AI adoption and expanding cloud infrastructure. Consumption is projected to double by 2030.
“We’re operating in an environment where demand for infrastructure is accelerating rapidly, particularly with the rise of AI and that inevitably brings greater scrutiny on energy use and emissions,” said Carl Henriksen, CEO of OryxAlign. “Our priority has been to improve the way we quantify that impact and take meaningful steps to reduce it, while maintaining the resilience and scalability our clients depend on.”
For clients, this has real implications. As organisations face growing pressure to demonstrate the sustainability of their supply chains, partnering with an IT provider that can show measurable progress and transparent reporting, especially around Scope 3 emissions, helps give a clearer view of indirect impact, which is playing an increasingly important role in procurement and governance decisions.
OryxAlign’s ESG report sets out the initiatives behind this progress, from mandatory sustainability training for all employees to improved emissions tracking and more responsible disposal and recycling of IT equipment.
Through its partnership with Ecologi, the company offset 48 tonnes of CO₂ and removed a further 12 tonnes during the same period, more than its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as it works towards becoming a climate-positive workforce.
Beyond environmental progress, the report also highlights a strong focus on people and workplace culture. Employee engagement remains high, with a Net Promoter Score of 57.69, above the sector benchmark of around 26 and initiatives such as equal opportunities monitoring, leadership training, improved benefits and clearer career pathways show how OryxAlign continues to invest in its people.
“The quality of service our clients receive is directly linked to the culture we build internally”, commented Helen Peckham, head of HR at OryxAlign. “When people feel genuinely invested in, through real development opportunities, fair recruitment and a workplace that reflects their values, that shows up in how they work. An eNPS of 57.69 is evidence that our approach is working and we intend to keep raising that bar.”
