New lease of life for our laptops!
At Society we are always looking for ways to be more sustainable with our old machines and this year we are proud to say that we have collaborated with fellow B Corp, Fluid IT, to repair, restore, and repurpose our unused laptops.
We have been delighted with the results and wanted to share a couple of our success stories:
Two of the laptops have gone to young girls in the UK to help them with their school work. Both were delighted with their gifts and can now focus on getting the best of their education.
Another laptop has gone all the way to the Philippines to a young woman named Emily, who for the past nine years has been working in an area of Southern Philippines. Her focus has been to educate its tribal people who practice early marriage for the purpose of having children. She promotes the importance of education, empowering women, and highlighting the risks associated with early pregnancies, including health and socioeconomic challenges.
Being a B Corp, for us, signifies a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Having the ability to donate old laptops aligns with this ethos, bridging the digital divide and empowering underserved communities. It reflects a purpose-driven approach, where business success intertwines with positive impact, fostering a more sustainable and inclusive society.
