Circular technology only matters when it works at scale. Virgin Media O2 stepped inside an operation already delivering it.
Community Calling is an award-winning partnership between Hubbub, Virgin Media O2 and Relove Technology, tackling e-waste and digital exclusion. Individuals and businesses can gift smartphones to be re-distributed to people who need them, enabling devices to have a life-changing role instead of contributing to the estimated 123 million already going unused.
Relove Technology has been announced as winners of the Circular Economy category, receiving 'Silver' status in the virtual awards ceremony for the 2023 Global Good Awards. The awards recognise organisations and leaders who are achieving practical, real-world impact for people and planet that is both scalable and replicable – and who have inspiring stories to tell.
Genuine Solutions, the award-winning technology recovery experts and certified B Corp acquired Relove Technology Ltd in full, to significantly expand its D2C go to market capability in the refurbished tech sector.
It feels like a long time since we stepped outdoors to embark on a new fund-raising challenge. Earlier this week, we teamed up with our partners from the Virgin Media O2 Supply Chain team to raise money for charities as part of their annual Give Back Day initiative, supporting Cancer Research UK and local community projects.
The Reconnected programme has a refreshed look with new charity partnerships to tackle three key challenges facing the UK – supporting Ukrainian refugees displaced due to war, unemployment and social mobility.
