Organisations around the world are accelerating towards net zero, but for many, the greatest challenge sits beyond their own operations. According to CDP data cited by the GHG Protocol, Scope 3 emissions account for around 75% of companies’ greenhouse gas emissions on average, making supply chains the biggest source of many organisations’ carbon footprints. These emissions are driven by the production, movement and end-of-life handling of essential equipment. Reducing them requires a fundamentally different approach built around circularity rather than continual replacement.
TXO addresses this challenge by optimising and transforming technology across its lifecycle. We keep equipment in use for longer, reduce embedded carbon and unlock greater value from every asset. With circular economy solutions operating in more than 140 countries, sustainability is embedded in everything we do.
Circularity that works across every sector
TXO’s circular economy model reduces Scope 3 emissions while helping organisations extend asset life, improve supply resilience and avoid unnecessary capital expenditure. By recovering, refurbishing and recirculating technology, organisations avoid the embedded carbon associated with manufacturing new equipment while extracting greater value from existing assets.
This matters for sectors where equipment lifecycles are long, complex and mission-critical, including:
- Telecommunications modernising infrastructure
- Transport systems improving reliability
- Data centres scaling capacity
- Public services maintaining secure communications
- Energy and utilities powering daily life
Circularity offers a practical and scalable route to reducing Scope 3 emissions while turning sustainability commitments into measurable progress.
Making carbon visible through innovative tools
Clear, trusted data is essential for organisations progressing toward net zero. That’s why we developed our innovative TXO Carbon Calculator with the Carbon Trust. It gives a straightforward view of the CO₂ savings achieved through refurbished equipment and responsible asset recovery, presented alongside financial results using validated data.
Integrated into our i‑TRAC asset management platform, the calculator compares the footprint of new products with refurbished equipment to show the carbon avoided through reuse. In many categories, organisations can reduce emissions by up to 93%, turning everyday procurement decisions into measurable progress on Scope 3 emissions.
Local jobs in green technology with global impact
TXO’s contribution to net zero goes beyond carbon avoidance. It is rooted in people, skills and community wherever those communities are located. From Wales to Australia, from the US to Brazil and beyond, TXO creates skilled local employment across engineering, refurbishment, testing, logistics and sustainability analysis. These are stable and skilled jobs in green technology that strengthen regional economies and build long-term resilience across every sector TXO serves.
By locating refurbishment, testing and engineering capabilities close to customers, TXO helps strengthen regional supply chains while reducing the environmental impact of moving equipment around the world.

“Reducing Scope 3 emissions isn’t just about meeting carbon targets. It’s about making better use of the resources we already have while creating skilled jobs and strengthening local communities. At TXO, our circular approach helps customers accelerate their net zero ambitions in a way that delivers measurable environmental impact alongside lasting social and economic value,” said Joanna Hutchinson‑Parker, Chief Growth Officer at TXO.
Building the workforce of tomorrow
TXO invests in the future workforce globally. Through STEM pathways, apprenticeships and partnerships with training providers, the company helps young people develop the technical and sustainability skills needed for tomorrow’s industries.
Apprentices gain hands-on experience with real equipment, real diagnostics and real circular economy processes. This builds confidence and capability from day one, whether they go on to support communications networks, transport systems, critical public services, energy grids or data centre operations.
A circular future with global possibility
TXO is proving that net zero is not only about carbon. It is about communities, opportunity and long-term prosperity across the world. By tackling Scope 3 emissions, enabling accurate carbon measurement and investing in local talent, TXO is supporting organisations in telecoms, enterprise networks, transport, data centres, government, defence, energy and utilities to build a circular future that is cleaner, fairer and full of possibility.
