🎉 Congratulations on your 20th birthday, AfB gGmbH! For 16 years we have been partnering with Europe's largest non-profit IT company. AfB specializes in extending the life of used IT and mobile devices. As an officially recognized inclusion company, AfB employs 660 people of whom 48 percent have a disability. Since the beginning of the partnership, Schaeffler has donated an impressive 81,798 IT and mobile devices. 💻 These donations have saved 63 million liters of water, 8,571.8 tons of CO2, and 33.7 million kWh of primary energy! The following comparisons help put the scale of the savings into context*: 🚰 The volume of water saved is equivalent to approximately 331,600 filled bathtubs (190 liters each). 👣 The reduction in CO2 is roughly equivalent to taking 3,700 flights from Berlin to New York City and back. 💡 And the primary energy saved is equivalent to the annual consumption of around 9,600 two-person households. After data destruction, hardware testing, spare parts procurement, repairs, upgrades and cleaning, AfB was able to resell 72% of the donated items. The rest was professionally recycled. Watch the video to see exactly what this process looks like! We look forward to many more years of collaboration for inclusion and sustainability! 🤝💚 *Comparative figures were calculated using data available on external websites recommended by AfB for comparative calculations. #GreenMakesTheDifference #AfB #Inclusion

😍 Thank you very much for your congratulations! We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Schaeffler! It's great to see how many IT devices we have been able to give a second life and the positive impact this has on the environment. We look forward to many more years of working together to continue promoting inclusion and sustainability! 💚💻🌍 #socialandgreenIT
