2025 Sustainability Report

Form 10 is proud to publish its inaugural Sustainability Report for 2025.

Our inaugural 2025 Sustainability Report marks a pivotal shift from practicing responsible business to embedding rigorous, data-driven accountability into the very fabric of Form 10. By reporting our Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and waste management processes, we formalize our mutual goals for repsonsible environmental stewardship and IT operational excellence.

As we look toward 2026, we build upon our silver-level EcoVadis rating  and our commitment deepens. The automation of our governance and pursuit of ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 attestation esnures that our national growth is matched by our unwavering dedication to transparency, information security, and a sustainble future for all stakeholders. --Michael Banks, Form 10 President & Co-Founder

EcoVadis™ Silver-Level Rating: 89th Percentile of All Companies

Form 10 has earned a silver level rating from EcoVadis™  for incorporating the principles of  sustainability and corporate social responsibility into our business. EcoVadis™,  the world's largest provider of business sustainability ratings, placed Form 10 in the 89th percentile of all companies rated in the previous 12 months. EcoVadis™’ network comprises over 150,000 rated companies, with a percentile rank calculated across all companies in various industries. Form 10 demonstrated a strong sustainability management system across four themes: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

Baselining GHG Emissions

Form 10 experienced explosive growth in 2025 and will continue to grow in all business areas for the foreseeable future. As we expand our national presence, we continue to monitor our progress toward sustainable practices. In 2025, we proudly embarked on our journey towards calculating and reporting our GHG emissions data and we will use 2026 as our baseline year.

Recycling IT Devices

Form 10 has partnered with various recycling organizations throughout the U.S. that offer an environmentally sound and secure program for retired, obsolete, or reusable IT equipment. In 2025, Form 10 recycled 14,000 pounds of IT equipment and 5,000 pounds of cardboard.

"Our EcoVadis™  journey validated our business practices, such as the Repair Depot, which have contributed to our success. As we expand our national footprint, we challenge ourselves to further strengthen our sustainability management system while maintaining a culture of innovation and accountability."

Repurposing IT Devices

Form 10 Group offers a Repair Depot, our refurbishing  program for customers. Once a customer identifies an IT device that is no longer useable, they send us the device and we immediately send them a replacement device. Our technicians  purchase needed parts, manufacture obsolete parts using our 3D printer, and repair the  nonworking device in order to extend the life of the device. In 2025, Form 10 recycled 14,000 pounds of IT equipment.

Repurposing Wooden Pallets

Form 10 frequently receives equipment that is shipped in wooden  pallets, over 70% of which are repurposed as shelving for our warehouse or bottom support boards for our shipments. In 2025, Form 10 reused and recycled 3,200 pounds of wooden pallets.

 

Green Shipping

Form 10 proudly offers green shipping options to our customers. Our technicians carefully place electronic devices in protective pouches that use an environmentally safe, 100% recyclable foaming material. Technicians then place the devices in reusable plastic containers for shipment and delivery.

Carpooling

At Form 10, we encourage our employees to take advantage of our carpool initiative. Currently 30% of employees carpool, saving an average of 53,000 miles (85,000 kilometers) per year and helping to reduce our carbon footprint.
