OSI Global earns Greenly Gold climate rating

OSI Global earned a Gold Climate Strategy Rating from Greenly after its 2025 greenhouse gas assessment, placing the company among the top 5% of organizations assessed for climate governance. The review found a 6% drop in total emissions and a 29% improvement in emissions relative to revenue, giving the company a benchmark for future reductions.

Why it matters: - OSI Global now has a third-party climate benchmark tied to its operations and supply chain. - The Gold Climate Strategy Rating places OSI Global among the top 5% of organizations assessed by Greenly for climate governance. - The 2025 assessment gives OSI Global a baseline for tracking emissions cuts over time.

What happened: - OSI Global earned a Gold Climate Strategy Rating from Greenly. - The rating followed OSI Global’s 2025 greenhouse gas emissions assessment. - Greenly conducted the assessment using methodology aligned with the international GHG Protocol. - The assessment covered emissions across OSI Global’s operations and value chain. - OSI Global reported a 2025 footprint of 86.37 kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent. - The company cut absolute emissions by about 6% versus 2024. - Emissions relative to revenue fell 29%.

The details: - The assessment identified opportunities for improvement in purchasing, supplier engagement, transportation, and product lifecycle impact. - David Colman, COO of OSI Global, said the assessment gives the company a clearer view of where its environmental impact comes from and where it can improve. - Colman said the Gold rating is an important milestone, but the bigger value is having credible data to guide priorities and measure progress over time. - OSI Global plans to use the 2025 assessment as a benchmark for future progress and for refining emissions-reduction priorities. - OSI Global is a privately owned, Gartner-recognized leader in enterprise hardware, optical solutions, and data center services. - The company says it has served IT teams since 2008 with hardware, third-party maintenance, optical networking, and professional services. - OSI Global says its services help extend hardware lifecycles and reduce costs. - The company also says it offers the capabilities of larger competitors without bureaucracy, investors, or red tape.

Between the lines: - The rating signals that climate reporting is becoming part of how enterprise infrastructure vendors compete and differentiate. - The strongest operational gains appear to be in emissions intensity, not just total output, which can matter when revenue changes year to year. - The identified opportunity areas suggest OSI Global’s next gains may depend on supplier and logistics changes more than internal operations alone.

What's next: - OSI Global will use the 2025 assessment as a benchmark for future emissions reviews. - The company is expected to focus next on purchasing, supplier engagement, transportation, and product lifecycle improvements. - Future assessments will show whether the 6% absolute reduction and 29% revenue-adjusted improvement can be sustained or expanded.

The bottom line: - OSI Global has turned a climate review into a measurable operating baseline, with verified reductions and clear next steps for further cuts.
