Highlights

Datatec continues to invest in reducing its impact on the planet across the value chain.
We prioritise environmental responsibility through three key focus areas: reducing carbon emissions, energy usage and e‑waste management.

Our primary ambition is to achieve carbon emissions reduction in order to reach our net zero goal by 2050. Within this, our current focus is on our interim milestone of reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2022 baseline.

We are pleased to report that Datatec has reduced its scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions by 12% in FY25 against the FY22 baseline, as a result of numerous initiatives around the world to save energy and switch to renewable electricity, which now represents 28% of our total electricity usage.

Datatec strives to attract and retain the best talent through the maintenance of a fair, inclusive culture and by ensuring optimal working conditions and opportunities for growth and development. In FY25, we invested US$3.4 million across our divisions in training, development and accreditations.

We aim to be a great place to work for all of our employees and are committed to building a workforce that is diverse and representative. In an industry historically marked by under-representation of women, 30% of Datatec’s global workforce is female, with women holding 31% of leadership roles (defined as CEO, CEO‑1 and CEO‑2 roles) across the Group.

With respect to the Datatec Board, of the eight members there are three women (38%), above the target of a minimum of two, and three black people (defined as including African, coloured and Indian populations).

Involvement and investment in local communities is core to Datatec’s purpose, through broad recruitment programmes, supporting inclusive education, and donating to a wide range of charities.

We are advocates for education and lifelong learning. Over our 39-year history, we have maintained the belief that education is the most transformative force in building a competitive economy and resilient societies.

In FY25, we donated US$1.2 million to community projects and charities (including through the Datatec Educational and Technology Foundation). This helped us fund 50 education‑focused projects and reach over
10 000 beneficiaries across all our community initiatives.
