Logicalis has been named the Canalys Forum EMEA Partner of the Year. The recognition follows the company's verified maintenance of Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality through FY26.
Why it matters
The award highlights the growing emphasis on sustainability metrics alongside traditional service growth in the managed infrastructure and digital transformation sector. This trajectory reflects an industry-wide push to align IT service delivery with verifiable environmental benchmarks.
Logicalis has reduced its emissions by 34% compared to its FY22 baseline while nearly doubling renewable electricity consumption from 22% to 42%. Additionally, 77% of its suppliers by spend have adopted science-based targets.
The players
Logicalis
An international provider of managed services, cyber resilience solutions, and digital transformation consulting.
Canalys
A global technology market analyst firm that hosts the annual Canalys Forum to recognize channel partner performance.
The details
Logicalis operates as a managed services provider focused on digital transformation and cyber resilience, including services like threat intelligence and managed detection and response (MDR). The company tracks its carbon footprint through Scope 1 emissions, which are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization, and Scope 2 emissions, which represent indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. By increasing its renewable energy procurement and engaging its supply chain, the firm aims to hit a 50% reduction in these scopes by FY30.
Timeline
FY22: Baseline year for emissions reduction tracking.
FY25: Achieved initial Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality.
FY26: Maintained Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality status.
FY28: Target date for supplier science-based targets goal.
FY30: Target date for 50% Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction.
The Tech Race
Logicalis aligns its supply chain transparency and reduction goals with the rigorous standards set by the Science Based Targets initiative. This shift signals a broader competition among managed service providers to prove environmental accountability as a core component of their service delivery.
For enterprise clients, this development signals an increased reliance on managed service providers that offer audited, carbon-neutral infrastructure operations. Organizations selecting IT partners can now incorporate Logicalis's 34% reduction benchmark into their own Scope 3 emissions reporting.
The takeaway
Logicalis's award underscores that sustainability is becoming a decisive metric for evaluating IT service partners in the EMEA region. Observers should track the company's FY30 progress report to see if they reach their goal of a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
