London-based SocialBox.Biz has announced the launch of its 2026 Impact Plans, a new framework aimed at helping London’s corporate sector improve data security and meet ambitious Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets through the practice of “Secure Reuse” before IT disposal.
In light of increasing sustainability reporting requirements and the aftermath of major software transitions, SocialBox.Biz offers a dual-purpose solution for businesses: protecting corporate data and making a positive impact on the UK’s disadvantaged populations.
Prioritizing Secure Reuse Over Disposal
Many companies resort to physically destroying functional hardware out of fear of data breaches. SocialBox.Biz eliminates this risk by offering a “Boost Security via Reuse” option.
Certified Erasure: All donated MacBooks and laptops undergo certified data wiping (NIST 800-88 / ISO 27001 standards), providing companies with a full audit trail and Certificates of Destruction.
The “Purpose Gap” Solution: The 2026 Impact Plans allow companies to continue making a social impact even during years without hardware refreshes by sponsoring IT labs and training for disadvantaged individuals.
Measurable ESG and Environmental Benefits
With support for Windows 10 coming to an end, millions of corporate devices face the risk of becoming scrap. SocialBox.Biz offers a secure alternative by reusing these items with open-source software and redistributing suitable items to those in need, such as the elderly and those transitioning out of homelessness.
Scope 3 Leadership: Choosing reuse over recycling can save approximately 316kg of CO₂ per laptop, more than double the savings of traditional recycling methods.
“By 2026, the standard for corporate responsibility has shifted,” said the team at SocialBox.Biz. “Our Impact Plans ensure that London’s businesses can protect their data while transforming their impact and the lives of others through the secure reuse before disposal of technology they no longer need.”
Call to Action for London Businesses
SocialBox.Biz is urging IT Directors and CSR Officers to update their procurement and disposal policies to prioritize “Reuse First” and to contact SocialBox.Biz for a free assessment of what technology can still be reused. Businesses can join the 2026 initiative by reaching out to SocialBox.Biz before their next hardware decommission.
