As the Covid-19 pandemic emptied offices and created a new generation of mobile workers, businesses around the world were forced to make a rapid and unplanned transition to remote working. For many companies, the IT department became the unsung hero of the crisis, playing a pivotal role in ensuring continuity, resilience and productivity.

Now, as businesses large (500+ employees), medium (200-499), and small (50-199) look to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic, there are still significant challenges for IT managers to overcome to build resilience and manage continued operational disruption and financial pressure.

As our research shows, a big shift is underway, with desktop PCs being retired in favour of mobile technology, such as laptops and tablets – stretching IT budgets and potentially compounding the global electronic waste (e-waste) crisis.

The world already generates 53.6 million metric tonnes of e-waste each year, according to the UN’s ‘Global E-Waste Monitor 2020’ – the equivalent of throwing away 1,000 laptops every second – and the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on these figures is yet to be seen. Both governments and business must confront this growing environmental challenge now, as despite the pandemic, consumer pressure to act on climate change has not disappeared. With e-waste on the rise, flexible working here to stay, and IT budgets forced to go much further than before, there is no shortage of challenges ahead. As this report reveals, the leading IT decision makers are adopting new, more sustainable ways of managing IT that delivers technology’s many benefits – productivity, creativity, collaboration – through access to IT devices, not ownership of them. We discuss the road ahead for IT decision makers, as they balance the demands of business resilience, financial responsibility and sustainability in the context of Covid-19.

The appointment is effective immediately and sees Jason retaining his duties as Chief Commercial Officer for 3stepIT.  

Jason will be responsible for shaping the commercial strategy for the Joint Venture and ensuring an effective go-to-market plan is agreed and executed in each country. This includes oversight of marketing, communications and sales force effectiveness.

With Jason’s appointment, the Joint Venture confirms its ambition to become the leading provider of Technology Lifecycle Management solutions across Europe.

Prior to 3stepIT, Jason held senior commercial leadership roles at Dell, GE Capital and CIT Group Group.

The Board of Directors of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT are pleased to announce that Carmen Ene has been appointed as CEO of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, on top of her existing role of CEO at 3step IT.

Its Technology Lifecycle Management services will soon be offered in 11 countries, helping a growing number of businesses to manage IT more sustainably.


Carmen Ene retains her role of CEO at 3stepIT, a position she has held since 2015. Since joining the company, she has made it her mission to work with businesses to tackle the issue of corporate electronic waste, work which saw the company prevent more than half a million IT devices from reaching landfill in 2019.


Carmen has previously held several senior executive positions at IBM including General Manager of Global Financing Italy, Vice President of Enterprise in the Global Business Services, and Vice President of Global Financing in Northeast Europe.


“Given her proven ability to drive results in core 3stepIT markets, the Board is very pleased that Carmen has agreed to lead the Joint Venture. Our goal is to establish BNP Paribas 3 Step IT as the leading provider of Technology Lifecycle Management solutions in Western Europe, leveraging the BNP Paribas network and customer base.

The Guardian recently published a thought-provoking article on the Circular Economy. One of the kye takeaways was that today our economy is inherently linear and this is ‘undermining the very foundation of our future’. Circular Economy will address this, whereby less wastage will reduce the damage on the planet.

But the Circular Economy has so much more to offer, it will have a very real and very significant impact on our economy. The Guardian article suggests an ‘estimated net savings of £523bn to European companies.’

At 3 Step IT we have been focused on the Circular Economy, recognising both the environmental and economic benefits. We have been making a series of small differences for over 20 years, through our circular approach to purchasing IT equipment. We find new homes for IT equipment and transform the old way of make-take-dispose to make-take-reuse

And when you consider manufacturing just one computer and monitor it takes roughly 530lb (240kg) 1.5 tonnes of fossil fuel, 48lb (21.8kg) of chemicals, and 1.5 tonnes of water. Yet we discard 20 – 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste every year!

Since our humble beginnings, we have refurbished and reused over 5 million devices. We have delivered over £125 million in savings for our customers and reduced the impact on the environment by doubling the lifecycle of refurbished equipment.

The actions of us as a single company, is like a butterfly flapping its wings. If we all collaborate and play our role in the Circular Economy, the changes we make today, will make a massive difference to tomorrow.

If you have any old kit gathering dust, why not get in touch. We can take your old kit and unlock the cash value in it, which you can invest back into your business. And you can make your first step towards contributing towards a Circular Economy.

BNP Paribas 3 Step IT is delighted to have been certified as a Solar Impulse Efficient Solution. The Efficient Solution label seeks to bridge the gap between ecology and economy. These solutions combine protection of the environment with financial viability. Certified solutions are practical and affordable, they provide fixes to problems, and offer opportunities for clean economic growth

The BNP Paribas 3 Step IT service helps companies to manage technology investments (mainly smartphones, tablets, PCs and laptops). The service adds value throughout the technology lifecycle. Specifically, it helps clients to improve their IT service level, with up to date equipment and to provide IT devices at a lower overall cost. The service improves sustainability too, when we refurbish obsolescent technology for reuse at the end of the rental contract.

The Efficient Solution certification process asks for a detailed description of the offering, and then subjects the information given and claims made to inspection by a panel of independent experts. Certification takes about three months to complete, and about two thirds of applications fail.

To quote Bertrand Piccard, the force behind the Solar Impulse Foundation, “We need to embrace clean technologies and efficient solutions, because they are much more than ‘ecological’, they are ‘logical’. They create jobs and generate profit, while also reducing CO2 emissions and preserving natural resources. Even if climate change didn’t exist, they would make sense. Clean growth is much better than the dirty status quo we have today.”

Because obsolescent devices are refurbished, rather than dumped, BNP Paribas 3 Step IT’s sustainability focus in turn helps improve the sustainability of our clients’ own IT operations. Re-using obsolescent equipment displaces the manufacture of new product and spreads the original manufacturing carbon footprint across two users. Including manufacture, transport and power costs in the calculation, this reduces the carbon footprint by 36%. There is an effect on electronic waste too: e-waste is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet, and the source of 70% of landfill toxic waste. Re-using IT devices reduces clients’ e-waste contribution by around 48%.

Speaking of this new certification, Chris Stalley, the CEO of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT said:

Our circular economy solution offers IT teams a rare combination of reduced cost, improved service and greater sustainability. This fits Efficient Solution criteria well, and it’s good to have our claims rigorously and independently validated.”

Sustainability is a growing factor in IT planning, with 15% of organisations saying it is a consideration today, and a further 67% say they intend to integrate sustainability into their IT plans within the next two years1. As our branches open we will bring this solution to organisations across Western Europe by mid-late 20202.

On 1 October 2019, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and 3stepIT officially launched commercial operations of their new Joint-Venture BNP Paribas 3 Step IT.

Chris Stalley is appointed Chief Executive Officer of the newly created company. Renaud Warluzel is named Chief Commercial Officer and Kari Mäkelä its Chief Operations Officer.

Country managers have been appointed in the first branches: Audrey Joulia in France, and Carlo Grossi in Italy.

CHRIS STALLEY


Chris Stalley, 52, is the first CEO of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT. He is responsible for an ambitious plan to open branches across Europe, and build it into a multi-million business.

This was a natural career step for Chris who had been responsible for business development at 3stepIT. There he helped grow international sales, developed a network of partnerships, and conceived the idea of a joint venture with BNP Paribas. Once the principles were established, Chris developed the business plans and strategies for approval by both boards, which led to the joint venture agreement.

Previously Chris worked at Siemens for 13 years, in progressively more senior positions, initially in their captive finance business. He then established the structured finance business for Energy, Healthcare, Industry and Infrastructure for Siemens Financial Services, growing it 15% annually into a €5bn operation. His final role was Executive Director – Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia Pacific when Siemens Bank was established, and integrated the structured finance business.

His earlier career included executive roles at GE Capital-Key Lease, branch management roles at Lloyds Bank, and sales management roles at United Dominions Trust.

RENAUD WARLUZEL

Renaud Warluzel, 54, is the Chief Commercial Officer of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, responsible for developing the company’s business in the 11 countries that will be open by mid-2020.

Renaud is a fleet management expert. He spent most of his career at Arval, BNP Paribas Group’s company car leasing operation. Starting there in 1992 as a Sales Executive and then, apart from a couple of years in BNP Personal Finance, enjoying an international sales career, in Ireland, Russia and finally from 2011 to 2019, as its Director of International Business, delivering SME Solutions.

Renaud has a Masters’ Degree in Finance from the “Institut Supérieur de Gestion”, (literally, the Superior Institute of Management), in Paris.

KARI MAKELA

Kari Mäkelä, 38, is the Chief Operations Officer of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, responsible for service delivery, end to end processes and the overall customer experience.

Kari joined 3stepIT 11 years ago, when he was one of only 90 employees. He played an important part in enabling 3stepITs growth, especially overseas expansion initiatives. Working first in the legal team, and then as Funding Director, Kari has negotiated funder co-op, channel partnership and customer agreements. Over the last 18 months, he was a key member of the team working to make the joint venture company a reality. His intimate knowledge of the way 3stepIT’s technology lifecycle services and processes work make him the ideal candidate for this critical role in the joint venture company

Kari holds a Masters’ Degree in Law from the University of Helsinki.

AUDREY JULIA

Audrey Joulia, 43, is the Country Manager for BNP Paribas 3 Step IT responsible for growing the business in France.

Audrey joined BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions 20 years ago. After a diverse commercial experience, she came to lead the Office Equipment Market in the International Business Line Technology Solutions. She moved on to become Regional Sales Director for the Technology Solutions Business Unit in 2015, and developed an understanding of the challenges and needs of clients working with a broad range of technologies. In 2017, she was appointed Director of Development and Digital service, helping to develop new offers and partnerships with national manufacturers, software developers and systems integrators.

Audrey holds a Master Degree in Innovation and Marketing awarded by Grenoble École de Management.

CARLO GROSSI

Carlo Grossi, 54, is appointed Country Manager for BNP Paribas 3 Step IT in Italy where he has been employed for the last 12 years.

Previously, Carlo was the General Manager for BNP Paribas Rental Solutions in Italy, so this appointment in the joint venture company is a natural next step in his career. As well has his track record in BNP Paribas Rental Solutions, Carlo brings extensive asset finance experience from time spent as a sales manager at GE Capital and in the compressor rental business at Atlas Copco.

Carlo has a first degree in economics from Università Bocconi in Milan, and a master’s degree in sales and marketing awarded by the Isvor Fiat business school.

BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and 3StepIT announce that their joint venture, BNP Paribas 3 Step IT, started trading in October.

BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions’ existing branches in France and Italy now operate under the new joint venture name, with nine more countries will follow by mid-20201.

This new entity offers a complete and more sustainable way to manage technology lifecycles. It delivers a service based on circular economy principles; a service that anticipates the needs of companies looking for more flexible and sustainable “product as a service”2 financing solutions.

BNP Paribas 3 Step IT combines the strengths, expertise and geographical cover of the European leasing leader, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, and the Finnish specialist in IT life cycle management (management, refurbishment in own logistics centres and re-marketing), 3stepIT, to take the latter’s successful approach out of its Nordic stronghold and deliver it across Europe.

BNP Paribas 3 Step IT provides a complete service to companies to help them manage technology investments (mainly smartphones, tablets, PCs and laptops). The service adds value at all points in the lifecycle. It helps:

  • Analyse their needs to develop a lifecycle plan
  • Provide the funding to select and acquire the planned equipment
  • Monitor and manage equipment in use: where it is, who pays, how much it costs, when to replace it, as well as automating many routine IT administration tasks.
  • Return equipment at the end of the contract, for secure data destruction followed by refurbishing for resale, when the value recovered helps reduce rental costs.

In practice, this approach helps clients improve their IT service level, with up to date equipment; and provide IT devices at a lower overall cost. It also helps run IT in a more sustainable way, because the devices are refurbished, rather than dumped.

We refurbish 97% of returned devices for re-use, with less than 3% being recycled. Our focus on sustainability also confers sustainability on our clients’ own use of IT. Extending the life of equipment displaces the manufacture of new product and spreads the manufacturing carbon footprint across two users. Including manufacture, transport and power costs in the calculation, this reduces the carbon footprint by 36%.

Electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream on the planet, and the source of 70% of landfill toxic waste. Re-use reduces clients’ e-waste contribution by around 48%.

Sustainability is a growing factor in IT planning. While 15% of organisations say it is a consideration today, a further 67% say they intend to integrate sustainability into their IT plans within the next two years3. A circular economy lifecycle approach, that delivers product life extension for over 97% of returned devices, will interest these organisations.

Since we announced this joint venture, many international companies have wanted to learn more. The lifecycle management service meets their business needs, and aligns with their values in terms of responsibility. Becoming more sustainable is increasingly a competitive differentiator, and a consideration for clients, partners and investors. As well as serving clients’ broader needs, this alliance is in perfect sync with the BNP Paribas Group strategy to support circular economy initiatives,” said Charlotte Dennery, CEO of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions.

We are delighted to take our solution across Europe. BNP Paribas 3 Step IT will offer a more sustainable approach to using technology, on a large international scale – a breakthrough for a circular economy business model, and a response to our customers’ demands for a global service”, says Carmen Ene, CEO of 3stepIT.

Sustainability is no longer a burden or a PR term. Sustainability is an essential part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and a key area of growth for companies.

Writing for the Financial Times, head of sustainable investing at Hermes Investment Management, Andrew Parry, explained that sustainability and returns go hand in hand. He added: “The growth in sustainable investing has accelerated in recent years, particularly in Europe, as investors begin to realise that sustainability can generate attractive growth rates and certainly more resilient business franchises.”

Parry believes the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the “beta of future growth” and shouldn’t be seen as a burden.

The UN SDGs were agreed in 2015, with each of the 17 goals having specific targets to achieve over the next 15 years. The goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. They include: zero hunger; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic growth; industry, innovation, and infrastructure; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; and climate action.

These goals aim to provide solutions for unmet needs in global society. According to estimates from the UN, an additional $3tn of capital will need to be raised every year to meet the targets by 2030.

Businesses Shouldn’t view sustainability as an unnecessary cost

Parry notes that innovative companies addressing social or environmental deficits view the figure as an exciting growth opportunity, and this mindset should be adopted by all.

Not only can a sustainable approach help the environment, but it can also help businesses and economies. In China, it is estimated that pollution reduces total GDP by 9%, and a comparable figure is also applicable for India.

While Parry was met with initial cynicism when planning to hold a talk on sustainability at a conference in Singapore last year, his talk turned out to be one of the most popular sessions from the two-day event. So, it is clear that people want to listen to and engage with sustainable practices and the impact it can have on business growth.

3 Step IT Comment

Technology is advancing at an incredible rate, and it is helping to make companies from all industries and of all sizes to become more productive and competitive.

However, with technology cycles becoming ever shorter, it’s important that businesses employ a refresh strategy that has sustainability at the heart of it.

At 3 Step IT we’re obsessive that efficiency and value work hand in hand with sustainable solutions, so it’s great that these thoughts have been echoed by Andrew Parry.

Working with our customers, we have been able to re-use 98% of IT equipment that is returned to us. We data erase the equipment and give it a second life, pushing it back in to the economy.

Sustainability is a win/win for everyone

  • Businesses can refresh technology in a way that showcases their commitment to CSR
  • There is less e-waste, which means reduced impact on the environment
  • As a society – The equipment is typically sold into the education sector, giving them access to affordable technology

This approach is very much ‘Circular’ and it allows businesses to use our IT lifecycle services to ‘access’ technology, rather than own, which leads to greater profitability and sustainability. Ultimately the business ‘accesses’ the technology for the optimum time before it starts to hinder on performance and consequently competitiveness.

It’s a revolutionary shift from ‘Make-Take-Dispose’ to ‘Make-Take-Reuse-Recycle’. We work with over 3000 customers, who have made this shift and are enjoying the benefits.

If you want a sustainable IT solution, speak to us and we can show you a demo of how we make all of this a reality.

Why is technology so important to a prosperous future?

Businesses that fail to adopt new technologies risk getting left behind. The best businesses ebb and flow with technology, immersing it into every part of their organizations.

The advancement of technology is mesmerising, and it only seems to be speeding up. Smart businesses recognise they need to adopt new technologies to compete, leading to a proliferation of equipment.

As a society, we only have access to a finite amount of resources, and to manufacture just one desktop computer and monitor takes roughly 530lb (240kg) of fossil fuel, 48lb (21.8kg) of chemicals, and 1.5 tonnes of water. Despite this resource-hungry process, the United Nations estimates that we discard 20-50 million metric tonnes of e-waste every year!

While there is no doubt that more needs to be done to recycle IT hardware responsibly, it’s also vital that we extract as much value as possible before sending equipment to its grave. 3 Step IT is a firm believer that one man’s trash is another man’s gold.

98% of devices collected from 3 Step IT customers in 2017 were rehomed, achieving responsible environmental practices. In addition, data security best practices were achieved with Blancco Data Eraser solutions.

Customers of 3 Step IT and Blancco can embrace new technologies quickly and easily, while retaining peace of mind that their data is protected.

How do bancco and 3 Step IT work together?

3 Step IT and Blancco were both founded in the year of 1997. That year, the companies built a partnership to securely erase IT assets at end-of-life.

The combination of 3 Step IT’s lifecycle management solution and Blancco’s data erasure solution enables businesses to succeed in a Circular Economy—even before the term was coined and popularised.

What is the circular economy, and how do we make it a reality?

Traditionally, IT equipment goes through three lifecycle stages: Make – Take – Dispose; however, this isn’t a sustainable option, both economically and environmentally. 3 Step IT reimagined this process and developed a circular solution comprised of four lifecycle steps: Make – Take – Reuse – Recycle.

3 Step IT makes it easy for businesses to refresh their technology; simply, securely, cost effectively and in a socially-responsible manner. They also remove the admin burden of procuring new IT and managing that IT throughout the entire life cycle.

We’re proud of our 20-year relationship with Blancco. Together we are making the Circular Economy ‘real’ by delivering tangible benefits for customers and society. Our combined win/win proposition is a testament to the efforts we have made this together, to help businesses embrace technology in a sustainable way while also achieving data protection best practices.

– Jason Skidmore, UK Managing Director

Coinciding with the rapid development of technology has been the proliferation of data. Organizations now have so much data that they’re having trouble managing and storing it all. At the same time, all companies must demonstrate customer data protection and comply with regulations regarding this data.

Blancco helps businesses improve their data hygiene, data security and data sanitization practices with secure, certified data erasure solutions across the entire data lifecycle—whether data is active or has reached end-of-life. In addition, Blancco’s tamper- proof audit trail that makes safeguarding data a simpler process.

Blancco is happy to be part of making the Circular Economy a reality. For two decades, we’ve been working with 3 Step IT to make responsible, secure IT asset recycling and resale possible. As technology continues to evolve, so will our partnership and our solutions.
