Circularity is an essential concept for Akamai, as we are in pursuit of reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices globally. At its core, circularity refers to the idea that resources should be used to minimize waste and maximize efficiency while advancing our long-term sustainability goals and aspirations.

Through our circularity program under our 2030 sustainability goals, Akamai views the work that supports the program not just from a lens of our hardware operating cradle to grave. At Akamai, circularity is a holistic approach to support our goals through lifecycle management, best-in-class e-waste practices, customer and employee engagement, community, events, and public advocacy. Building a circular system is critical to the long-term success of our sustainability program and why it is featured as one of our 2030 goals.
