Xperien says it 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, adds Xperien. 

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, says the company. 

"At Xperien, we are redefining sustainability by demonstrating that technology lifecycle management can — and must — be a force for biodiversity protection," says 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," Arewa says. 

While IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is traditionally associated with data security and asset recovery, Xperien says it 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.

Xperien says its 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. 

Biodiversity accountability is now a strategic necessity. Xperien concludes that it invites organisations to integrate its biodiversity-conscious ITAD solutions into broader sustainability programmes.
