Conectid Group Demonstrates Sustainable Commitment, Donating Over 200 Induction Cooktops to SOFA Project
Bristol, 30 May 2023 — In a significant move demonstrating its dedication to sustainable practices and social responsibility, Conectid Group, a preeminent technology solutions provider and designer, producer, and manufacturer of consumer goods and appliances, has initiated a collaborative sustainability and rehabilitation support effort with the respected Bristol-based charity, the SOFA Project.
The initial act of this cooperation saw Conectid Group generously donating over 200 induction cooktops. These items had been previously utilised for internal testing, returned by customers, or had minor defects. All the cooktops incorporate Conectid’s innovative eco-friendly induction technology.
Renowned for driving innovative and sustainable solutions within the technology sector, Conectid Group’s latest endeavour is a testament to its mission. It showcases a resourceful approach to managing product lifecycles, minimising environmental footprints, benefiting the community, and offering alternative rehabilitation support for those in need.
Established in 1982, the SOFA Project is a social enterprise that champions sustainability, inclusivity, and empowerment. The organisation extends the lifespan of high-quality furniture and electrical appliances and, crucially, provides training and work opportunities for those marginalised from the workplace, aiding their rehabilitation and societal reintegration.
Unwanted or donated items are skilfully refurbished and technically assessed, diverting them from waste and rendering these crucial items affordable and accessible to all. The organisation’s commendable efforts significantly contribute to environmental waste reduction, retraining and reintegrating excluded individuals into the workforce and providing affordable household items for those in need.
The SOFA Project’s commendable work extends into the prison system, creating opportunities for individuals to learn new skills and gain valuable work experience. Their dedication to societal improvement and sustainability has fostered a virtuous cycle of reuse and giving back, underscoring their unwavering commitment to the community and the environment.
This dedication to creating a sustainable and inclusive society perfectly aligns with Conectid Group’s core values.
CEO of Conectid Group expressed, “At Conectid, our mission goes beyond delivering advanced tech solutions. We are fervently committed to sustainability and supporting our community. This donation of over 200 induction cooktops to the SOFA Project is a testament to this commitment. We are immensely proud to support a charity that plays a pivotal role in the local community and actively contributes to shaping a greener future.”
SOFA Project will ensure the donated cooktops are efficiently refurbished or recycled, thereby reducing waste and promoting the circular economy. This significant contribution will divert substantial waste from landfills while providing many families with more efficient, environmentally friendly cooking alternatives.
