Welcome to GivingBack.tech
What is Givingback.tech?
(a Together For Cinema initiative)
GivingBack.tech connects product donors from both the Commercial and Residential Audio Visual (AV) industries, and AV User organisations, with registered Charities and Community Interest Companies in order to repurpose second-hand, discontinued and B-stock AV equipment. We work with Manufacturers, Distributors, Integrators, Installers, Consultants, Corporates and Universities that have AV equipment to donate.
GivingBack.tech will help the AV industry limit landfill and make excess equipment available to good causes. We are also working towards an ever increasing impact in meeting the United Nation's 2030 directive for Sustainable Development Goals (see below).
The UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the world’s best plan to build a better world for people and our planet by 2030. Adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, the SDGs are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the environment. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, equality and job opportunities while tackling climate change and working to preserve our ocean and forests.
The SDGs are integrated, that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability. Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first.
The graphic included here illustrates all the goals and note that Goal 12 is where GivingBack.tech will make an impact within the AV industry. Click here for further details.
