Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility
In addition to developing an activity aligned with the safeguarding of our planet and the environment, Digiplanet continually reinforces its practice of social responsibility .
During the production of a new computer, several kg of polluting materials such as metals and plastics are consumed, and at the same time, between 250 and 500 kg of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere, which contributes significantly to the pollution of our planet. Digiplanet, by reintroducing onto the market - with a guarantee and at lower prices - computers that already had a previous life (typically in large companies), contributes to the reduction of these emissions, thus avoiding the continuous destruction of the environment.
Buying a computer or a refurbished phone is the smart choice, as we can offer equipment with higher performance, at lower prices and in a sustainable way, contributing to the preservation of our planet.

Partnership with Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion (EPIS)
EPIS - Entrepreneurs for Social Inclusion launched the One Computer Per Student EPIS initiative in partnership with Digiplanet , which, together with other sponsors, provided hundreds of computers to several school groups for distance learning that was implemented with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic.
You can learn more about the success of this initiative by reading this Dinheiro Vivo article or watching the videos below, where you can better understand the work carried out by the various partners to help Portuguese students at a time when uncertainty dominated the world.
Collaboration with the Padre Amadeu Pinto Youth Center
Digiplanet collaborated with Centro Juvenil Padre Amadeu Pinto, located in Almada and led by Father Gonçalo Machado, through the donation of computers to support students who attend that institution.
According to the priest, this center tries to be "the second home" for a group of children and young people, many of whom are considered at risk. "It's a complementary job to that of the parents. We have 100 children here."
Collaboration with the Pedro Alexandrino School Group
The Digiplanet collaborated with the Agrupamento de Escolas Pedro Alexandrino, in Odivelas, to provide students with the IT resources necessary for study and learning.
Solidarity Computer Action
Digiplanet joined the initiative Solidarity Computer by offering repair services for donated computers.
Often, donated computers intended for students (young and senior) do not come in complete working condition.
Digiplanet made its technical resources available in its Carnaxide laboratory to repair this equipment, so that all students can make the most of their computers.
