Corporate volunteer programs are an effective way for organizations to engage employees, support sustainability goals, and create measurable community impact. For CIOs, IT leaders, and executive teams, they also connect responsible IT asset management with broader ESG and corporate social responsibility priorities.
At the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA), we help businesses manage retired technology securely and responsibly through IT asset disposition, data destruction, electronics reuse, recycling, and technology donation programs.
Turning Retired Technology into Community Value
As organizations refresh laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, and other IT equipment, a responsible end-of-life strategy becomes essential.
Retired technology often still has value. When suitable for reuse, devices can be refurbished and donated to charities, nonprofits, schools, and community organizations across Canada. By prioritizing reuse before recycling, ERA helps reduce e-waste while supporting organizations that need access to technology.
Employee Engagement Through Volunteering
ERA’s corporate volunteer programs allow employees to take part in hands-on sustainability and community initiatives. Teams can support electronics collection events, device sorting, donation preparation, recycling activities, and awareness campaigns focused on reducing e-waste.
These programs help employees see how retired technology can support digital inclusion and create real community impact.
Supporting CIOs, IT Leaders, and ESG Goals
For CIOs and IT departments, responsible IT asset disposition is about more than removing old equipment. It is about protecting data, reducing risk, supporting compliance, and ensuring retired assets are handled through trusted channels.
