The charity group used Stone360® to recycle devices while protecting sensitive data. “Recycling our old IT was remarkably simple thanks to Stone – I couldn’t believe it was so stress-free. An easy to use app, free collection, money back and good for the environment. What’s not to love?
As a sustainable business, our IT asset disposal operations form a crucial part of our overall carbon reduction plan. We aim to be Net Zero by 2030, our HQ already runs on 100% renewable electricity, we have achieved a 35% reduction in CO2 emissions per £1M turnover since our baseline year of 2019. We have worked with The National Forest to restore derelict land, and our partnership with Ecologi means that Stone360® customers have helped us plant more than 8,000 trees.
