Infographic: Smith Takes CHARGE of Sustainability

Sep 09, 2025  |   GeneralSustainability

SMITH TAKES CHARGE Sustainability isn’t a standalone initiative—it’s embedded in everything we do. Smith’s sustainability efforts are built upon our CHARGE framework: six action-oriented principles to guide our decisions. Each of these elements reflects both our internal commitments and the external value we deliver to customers. CIRCULARITY We extend product lifecycles and reduce waste by maximizing reusability, repair, and prioritizing responsible resource management. We close the loop in the supply chain by reusing, refurbishing, and remarketing products like HDDs, SSDs, and memory modules to give them a second life—without compromising performance. By keeping materials in circulation, we reduce e-waste, conserve rare resources, and deliver both environmental and financial value. HUMANITY We put people first by prioritizing the health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees and the communities in which we operate. Smith has built a culture dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of the people around us. Through inclusive practices, career development, and community-focused initiatives, we commit to actively taking steps to act with empathy and responsibility toward everyone. AGILITY We adapt to challenges with speed and precision as our industry shifts and regulatory changes occur. Our Intelligent Distribution™ model is designed to help us move fast and adapt with precision. Whether responding to sudden market shifts, geopolitical tension, or disruptions in the supply chain, we have contingency plans in place and real-time market intelligence to keep our customers ready for whatever comes next. RESPONSIBILITY We lead by example by upholding ethics, compliance, and sustainability commitments. We ensure ethical sourcing by upholding our Supplier Code of Conduct and offering transparency in everything we do. From protecting our customers through trade compliance to managing resources sustainably, We take ownership of our impact and build trust through action. We also maintain rigorous responsible-sourcing policies and hold third-party-verified information-security certifications, like ISO/IEC 27001. GROWTH We scale sustainability and strategically by expanding our business and partnerships with a long-term mindset. As we build for the future, we stay focused on growing with purpose by strengthening our processes, deepening customer relationships, and investing in our employees. We fuel our expansion by supporting those who champion new and creative ideas and celebrating innovation throughout our business. By centering our growth around efficiency, collaboration, and long-term partnerships, we create value that lasts. EXCELLENCE We raise the standards in quality, service, and innovation. Smith goes beyond “good enough” by taking active steps to advance our environmental, social, and governmental impact for the better. We encourage renewable energy across our operations and incorporate strategies to improve efficiency in our processes and facilities worldwide. Our relentless drive for quality, powered by our 4Cs framework, continually raises the bar across our company so we can provide the best for our customers and the world. By integrating Smith's CHARGE principles into our daily operations, we reinforce our commitment to a more resilient, ethical, and sustainable future.
