London, UK – A recent survey by SocialBox.Biz revealed that 60% of UK firms want to boost their social impact but lack surplus IT hardware to donate. This finding was further confirmed in a December 2025 survey, which also highlighted data privacy as a top concern for businesses.
In response to these barriers, London-based Community Interest Company SocialBox.Biz offers a solution that directly addresses these concerns. Through secure and certified data wiping methods that adhere to NIST 800-88, ISO 27001 principles, and over 20 global standards, SocialBox.Biz enables companies to securely reuse their IT hardware before disposal. This is particularly beneficial for central London offices in areas like Westminster, as well as companies across the UK.
As the new year begins, London companies have a fresh opportunity to lower their Scope 3 emissions. By partnering with SocialBox.Biz, businesses can reduce their carbon footprint and make a significant social impact. Reusing a single laptop with SocialBox.Biz can save approximately 310 kg to 316 kg of CO2 – more than double the environmental benefit of recycling.
To further support businesses in their efforts to increase their impact, SocialBox.Biz has introduced Impact Plans. These plans allow companies to support the Community Interest Company using PR or ESG budgets instead of physical tech items. These funds go towards critical initiatives such as tech labs and CompTIA+ training programs for formerly homeless individuals and older people in isolation.
“Our long-standing solutions turn redundant technology into lifelines for education and employment,” said a spokesperson for SocialBox.Biz. “We are calling on London businesses to ‘Call SocialBoxBiz Before You Scrap It’ so we can check what items can still be reused before IT disposal and recycling takes place. By doing so, companies can not only increase their impact, but also help those who need it most and cannot afford any computer hardware or software.”
