Arrow's CSR Mission: Innovating Today

Good ideas are everywhere. But innovators are rare. Innovators punch through the status quo to deliver a solution that is both practical and provides an exciting new solution. 

To identify innovators and guide them forward, Arrow partners with incubators, accelerators and technology competitions. We pursue these partnerships in the conviction that the organized process of iteration, presentation, mentorship and competition distills interesting ideas into real innovations that may benefit society and turns dreamers into entrepreneurs.

Five Stars for @Emerging_Green
I live at the intersection of Sustainability and Electronics. From the moment I learned that the Green Electronics Council (GEC) was producing its first conference, I was excited.

Responsible Production & Consumption

E-Waste in the Facility: Plague or Profit?
Getting rid of the trash is a function that frequently falls to facilities management. As trash equates to waste, trash itself is a worthy target for the sustainability-minded, the economically minded, and the efficiency-minded.

Responsible Production & Consumption

Invisible Consumption
Consumption is a part of everyday life; overconsumption is the sticking point. Typically when we think of overconsumption we think of the associated waste – from packaging, from products discarded rather than repaired, or from supersized products or McMansions. In the world of overconsumption, “need” is never the operative word.

Responsible Production & Consumption

The Problem With Little
Thinner, sleeker, and lighter are hallmarks of the marketing strategy that inoculates consumers with the obsolescence bug long before functionality actually falters.

Innovation & Technology

Searching for Heroes of Innovation
Sustainability is rife with innovation, so help us single out those advances that nobody has told us about. I am especially interested in innovations that help us reclaim more materials and in nontoxic materials that can replace toxic compounds in electronics manufacturing, like the electronics from milk created by heroine of innovation Anke Domaske.
