What motivated you to join GreenDice?

As an IT company we understand that we play a role in producing electronic waste and we have tried to find solutions to minimize that. We found the most productive solution that all the members of the community can gain from with cooperation with GreenDice. With this cooperation we doubled the good outcome- for the nature and for people who need a computer but don’t want to/ can’t  afford to buy from the shop.

Have you implemented green and circular economy principles in your company and how?

In our procurements we use green principles to decrease (dangerous) waste- we don’t allow to use plastic and demand cardboard packaging. Devices that have outlived their life cycle are being disposed of in companies that follow the principles of the circular economy. Now, thanks to GreenDice, we have the option to extend the life cycle of IT devices. Also, we do all of our events with 100% vegan foods and of course we sort the garbage.

Why is it important for your company to contribute to the development of Estonia and the rest of society?
