Sustainability at Assurant

Respected Resources Lead to a Circular Economy

We are driven by a passion for the circular economy and a clear mission — to prevent the premature retirement of used devices and keep them out of landfills. As a core focus area for our company, we prioritize sustainability in the design of our solutions, emphasizing longevity and durability. Through our innovative products and services, we’re recognized as an industry leader in promoting and bringing circularity solutions to market.

We focus on three key areas of mobile device circularity where we believe we have the greatest impact.

Production & Modularity

Operating in sustainable ways in all device operations downstream of the original equipment manufacturer, and providing services to support easier repair.

Longevity

Extending the useful life of devices that are manufactured through protection, trade-in, upgrade and certified pre-owned (CPO) programs.

Recyclability

Ensuring devices are responsibly recycled at the end of their useful life.

To achieve these objectives, Assurant offers a suite of services for our clients and customers and implements incentive and promotional programs that motivate consumers to participate. By providing multiple avenues for sustainable mobile device technology use, including upgrades, trade-ins, and recycling, we help maximize the value of pre-owned devices. This generates additional revenue streams for our clients and creates a positive environmental impact.

In 2023, we rolled out Assurant Carbon IQSM, a solution that provides end-to-end CO2 impact assessment to help companies define and refine their circularity strategy for the mobile device ecosystem.

For more information about how we are integrating circularity and sustainability principles into our offerings, see our Device Lifecycle Sustainability Solutions.
