Tech Data has put net zero and cross-UK ISO standardisation of practices and processes front and centre with the appointment of Kevin Wragg to the newly created role of Director for Environment and Quality Compliance. He was previously Tech Data UK's Sales Operations Director, a role he held for 32 years.
“There has never been a better time to embrace the energy and passion that exist around moving towards net zero carbon,” Wragg said.
“Also, at some point, customers and vendors are going to want to know where Tech Data is on its journey and ask us to demonstrate our environmentally-friendly actions and processes. We want to get on the front foot now and do what's right for our customers, vendors, Tech Data and our planet.”
Tech Data SVP David Watts added: “Climate change is the most pressing issue facing us all. With this appointment, Tech Data UK and Ireland are making a firm commitment to achieving net zero carbon and driving the sustainability agenda. We see this as a vitally important part of our strategy.”
