3 Step IT’s chief executive officer Carmen Ene said: “World Environment Day prompts us to reflect on our impact on the planet. Clearly, it is not enough to provide a service that helps others to become more sustainable. We must provide that service in an ever more sustainable way – as a customer, partner, employer or a consumer of resources.”
In April this year 3 Step IT has recorded an operating profit of €24.5m (£21.2m) in its annual report.
3 Step IT grew its remarketing business, with the number of IT devices handled up 13% to 478,463 devices. In the last financial year the rental sales team won 642 new customers, ranging in size of deal from a few dozen new devices to major international bids for equipment shipping in 54 countries.
In February BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and 3 Step IT agreed to create a European strategic alliance for technology lifecycle management, with a planned joint venture by the end of the year.
