offer longevity in the tech cycle, and consider their investments wisely. It’s at times like these that working with a trusted partner can help keep assets at their best or offer schemes such as employee choice to keep them engaged and valued.
What are your views on building a sustainable business? I think it is incredibly important and whilst sustainability has become a catch phrase for many businesses, it’s never been that within Jigsaw24. Our founder, Roger Whittle, has been a passionate campaigner for sustainability and the wider social value it adds for many years and that is an approach that permeates through the whole of our business. We have been offsetting our carbon
evolution journey. We see differing specific demands and trends in Enterprise than in Media and Entertainment, but the general direction is towards sustainability, flexibility and As A Service requirements – like our Device As A Service offering.
What are your views on how the UK SME sector is set to weather the economic storm? I can see things being tough in some sectors where the cost base is higher and changing daily. Tere is more pressure on cost of living, employees needs, and technology lifecycles. To my mind SMEs will have to review their cost base so they can support their people,

emissions while we worked on our Net Zero plan, have planted forests of trees with the Woodland Trust, and have invested time, energy (carbon neutral energy of course) and money in all areas we work in. We have electric cars and vans, renewable energy in our buildings, sustainable supply chains, recycling everywhere and an ethos that this is a priority in everything we do. We work with the most sustainable tech companies, and we are proud of our successes to date. We are not resting on our laurels though…
Can you tell us more about how Jigsaw24 has already achieved net zero on scope 1 and 2, with an aspiration to gain scope 3 net zero before 2030? We have signed up to the Science Based Targets Initiatives (SBTI), which is a long-term commitment to reducing carbon emissions in real time, without offsetting. In the short term, we will be looking to offset our direct scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as our scope 3 staff commute and business travel emissions in 2022. However, we are conscious of the much wider scope 3 footprint from our product and supply chain and will be reporting and minimising all areas we can that affect us in 2022.
What are the key trends and industry demands that you are experiencing at the moment and how is Jigsaw24 poised to respond? As a Service and collaborative service support are the sorts of trends we are seeing, and our approach has been to design propositions alongside our customers that meet their needs today and can change with them in the future. We see that consumption-based pricing is important – as seen in our Device As a Service offering, and that Mac Adoption is becoming an enterprise player in sectors that have traditionally shied away from the value a non-Windows estate can bring. Tis is definitely changing and we are working ahead of the curve to make sure the Jigsaw24 offer remains current, valid and compelling.
