Embracing KCS software for sustainable business practices: Our commitment to Earth Day

As Earth Day approaches, the global conversation around sustainability grows louder and more urgent. At Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), we recognize our responsibility to the planet and are committed to integrating sustainable practices into both our business operations and the solutions that we provide to our customers. 

One of the key ways that we take this subject seriously is through our cloud software solutions. By encouraging the transition from traditional on-premise servers to cloud-based systems, we help our customers reduce their environmental impact in several ways. Our cloud-based solutions optimize logistics, cutting carbon footprints by efficiently managing deliveries and minimizing waste. Leveraging data-driven strategies, our system fine-tunes delivery routes and reduces emissions. Additionally, predictive analytics cut product returns, saving energy.  

We also champion digital transformation with e-commerce solutions, digitizing processes to boost efficiency and reduce paper use. By leveraging this technology, our customers experience minimized physical infrastructure and energy consumption, leading to streamlined operations and cost savings. 

Internally, we prioritize sustainability across our global offices, encompassing initiatives such as our cycle-to-work scheme and efforts to reduce waste and enhance energy efficiency. Our commitment extends to equipping our facilities with energy-efficient systems and locally sourced FSC-certified furniture.  

We’ve achieved a remarkable 95% recycling rate across our facilities, and promoting recycling initiatives is an integral element of our sustainability efforts. We implement efficient IT practices, such as a robust device replacement and recycling program, to further our environmental responsibility. Embracing a digital-first approach to marketing collateral, we minimize print materials and actively encourage remote work to reduce carbon emissions from travel. Every division within KCS shares the responsibility to adhere to our best practices for sustainability.  

At KCS, we are committed to helping our customers implement solutions that not only create efficiencies and deliver great service but also reduce waste and encourage waste reduction. We firmly believe that sustainability and profitability do go hand in hand; this is reflected in both our products and our service delivery
