Celebrating five years of empowering businesses with circular technology management services
12.04.2024Five years ago, we embarked on a mission to support businesses in adopting a circular approach, making their technology management more efficient, secure, and sustainable.
During this time, we’ve grown alongside the rapidly evolving digital landscape, learning, and growing with every challenge and opportunity.
How it started
Our company was launched in 2019 as part of a strategic alliance between 3stepIT, a Nordic circular technology service provider, and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a global leader in equipment leasing, to support more organisations in transitioning to a circular economy for technology.
Today, we are in 11 European markets, with operations in France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. 3stepIT provides Nordic coverage in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.
More than 3000 businesses have chosen to take advantage of our circular technology management services across Europe, revolutionising how they procure, manage, and dispose of technology and address the impact of their devices.
And we are just getting started.
What’s next
Our refurbishment centres are the beating heart of our business, where our teams give used devices a second life and make them available for resale to secondary users. In 2023, BNP Paribas 3 Step IT’s UK refurbishment centre processed record volumes of devices in its largest year of production as part of the Joint Venture, demonstrating the increasing demand for sustainable and secure technology management services.

“These past five years have been incredible for our company. With the support of our fantastic people and partners, we’ve made significant strides in helping European businesses maximise the value of their technology while minimising waste. As we look ahead, we’re committed to delivering innovative circular solutions that drive business success,” said Carmen Ene, CEO of BNP Paribas 3 Step IT. “Our world-class team truly sets us apart, enabling our success, and our unique, strong company culture that unites us and propels our organisation forward.”
