In celebration of the United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 May 2025, Xperien is launching a landmark biodiversity restoration project across its two-acre headquarters in Kyasands. The initiative combines educational workshops, volunteer-driven garden creation, and thought leadership on the critical role of IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) in corporate biodiversity and ESG strategies.
Xperien will transform its Kyasands grounds into a living biodiversity garden, featuring indigenous plantings and habitat zones designed for pollinators and small wildlife. The day’s theme – ‘Harmony with nature and sustainable development’ – guides programming and displays throughout the campus.
Over 55 employee volunteers will participate in planting, mulching, and habitat-building workshops led by leading ecologists. These sessions will cover biodiversity restoration techniques, ecosystem interdependencies, and best practices for creating nature-positive corporate spaces.
The plants, logs and rocks chosen for the garden have been carefully selected to create a welcoming haven for local wildlife – from native wildflowers that burst into colour and draw busy bees, to strategically placed deadwood refuges perfect for lizards and insects, and rocky outcrops that offer shelter for small birds.
“At Xperien, we are redefining sustainability by demonstrating that technology lifecycle management can – and must – be a force for biodiversity protection,” said Wale Arewa, CEO of Xperien. “Our biodiversity garden project is more than a symbolic gesture; it embodies our commitment to nature-positive corporate action, education, and transparent ESG reporting.”
“By combining diverse plant species with natural materials, we’re not only beautifying our grounds but actively supporting pollination, offering nesting and basking sites, and bolstering the resilience of nearby ecosystems. This micro-sanctuary will allow nature to thrive alongside our team, turning our two-acre campus into a living classroom and refuge for biodiversity,” he explains.
While IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is traditionally associated with data security and asset recovery, Xperien emphasises its pivotal role in reducing biodiversity risks by minimising the extraction of virgin materials. Mining for metals such as cobalt and lithium – key components in new electronics – has been linked to water contamination and threats to animal biodiversity through soil and habitat degradation.
By extending device lifecycles via refurbishment and redeployment, and ensuring ethical, traceable recycling at end of life, Xperien helps clients avoid new purchases, thereby alleviating pressures on mining-driven ecosystem loss.
Xperien’s biodiversity-conscious ITAD services align with GRI 101: Biodiversity 2024, which mandates organisations to report location-specific impacts and value-chain disclosures in line with evolving ESG standards. Certified under R2v3, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001, Xperien provides verifiable data on:
• Volumes of hardware refurbished or responsibly recycled
• Avoided material extraction and associated emissions
• Downstream recycling outcomes and circular-economy metrics
These insights bolster compliance with GRI 101, readiness for TNFD disclosures, and emerging CSRD and green-procurement requirements.
Global momentum behind the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in December 2022 with 23 targets for 2030 and four goals for 2050, underscores nature-positive business models. Xperien’s approach directly supports these targets by curbing raw-material demand and fostering circularity in IT value chains.
Biodiversity accountability is now a strategic necessity. Xperien invites organisations to integrate its biodiversity-conscious ITAD solutions into broader sustainability programs. Through comprehensive impact assessments and asset lifecycle reviews, Xperien empowers partners to:
• Transform e-waste into environmental leadership
• Build audit-ready ESG reports with verifiable biodiversity metrics
• Meet stakeholder expectations for responsible supply-chain management
