To mark Zero Waste Week, we held a ‘Recycle for Good’ event with Computacenter at our Birmingham office. Giving our people the opportunity to safely and securely dispose of their unwanted personal devices helps fight the significant environmental and social impact from electronic waste. ♻️💻 In just one day, our people brought in 60 mobile phones, 17 laptops and tablets, amongst other tech accessories and devices. Computacenter will responsibly recycle the tech and reuse it when making other products. The event proved hugely popular and offered us an opportunity to upskill our people on the environmental impact of our day-to-day tech.
