London-based non-profit organisation SocialBox.Biz is calling on companies and large organisations to consider donating their old but still functional technology before discarding or recycling it. This initiative, which has been making a positive impact for over a decade, aims to help companies reduce their scope 3 emissions and enhance their social impact.
Through the donation of devices, companies can greatly reduce their carbon footprint while also making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who cannot afford hardware or software. SocialBox.Biz is urging companies to incorporate their community interest company into their board agenda and annual report for the upcoming year, 2024/25.
This call to action comes as the holiday season approaches, a time when many companies may be looking to upgrade their technology and dispose of their old devices. Instead of disposing of these devices, SocialBox.Biz is urging companies to consider the environmental and social impact of such actions.
Peter Paduh, Founder of SocialBox.Biz, says, “We urge companies to think about the impact they can make by donating their old technology instead of simply disposing of it. By doing so, they can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the betterment of society.”
The organisation has already helped numerous companies and organisations, including large corporations and government agencies, to donate their old technology and make a positive impact. By partnering with SocialBox.Biz, companies can ensure that their old technology is given a second life and used to benefit those in need.
With the deadline for the 2024/25 annual reports approaching, SocialBox.Biz is encouraging companies to reach out and incorporate their community interest company into their sustainability efforts. By doing so, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
