Why ESG Matters in Education – and What We're Doing About It
Partnering with schools to build a greener, smarter future.
In 2025, sustainability isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have. Especially in education.
Schools across Australia are placing increasing emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values. From reducing their carbon footprint to building responsible procurement practices, educational institutions are leading the way in creating a cleaner, more conscious future.
At oeDigital, we’re proud to align with this mission. And we’re making sure the tools we provide—like business printers and copiers—are helping schools reduce waste, increase efficiency, and meet their environmental goals.
We Partner with Brands That Share Our Vision
We’re proud to be aligned with Epson, a leader in sustainable printing technology. Epson’s AM-C series printers and copiers have been specifically engineered to reduce power consumption, minimise waste, and simplify operations—without sacrificing performance.
Here’s how that translates to real change in schools:
✅ High-yield ink = fewer cartridge replacements, less waste
✅ Heat-Free Technology = reduced energy usage
✅ Simplified operations = less downtime for staff and IT teams
✅ Remote accessibility = enables flexible, paper-smart environments
✅ Secure printing = protects student and staff data
These are not just features—they’re solutions to real problems educators face.
Our ESG Commitment at oeDigital
We're not just selling printers—we're building responsible, future-ready schools. Here's how:
- We prioritise circular economy principles, including working with brands that use recyclable components and offer take-back programs.
- We actively promote devices that run on lower energy, reducing both carbon footprint and operational costs.
- We streamline packaging and logistics with our partners to cut unnecessary waste.
- We educate and support our clients with best practices for sustainable printing, document management, and archiving.
We also work with schools to implement print management software that reduces unnecessary printing, tracks environmental impact, and optimises device usage.
Why This Matters for Schools
Schools have tight budgets, limited time, and big responsibilities. By partnering with a supplier that shares their sustainability values, schools don’t just cut costs—they amplify their positive impact on students and the planet.
We believe that every print job is an opportunity to do better.
