The godmother company: XERA SRL
The company has always been involved in designing, designing and implementing eco-sustainable technological solutions and now, through the WEEKo project, it sets the ambitious and necessary objective of sensitising the behaviour of all hardware users to the correct management, increasingly clean and inclusive, of end-of-life technology, with the commitment to avoid a negative environmental impact and thus respond in a concrete way to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda.
The responsible reuse of materials is just one of the objectives that Xera aims to achieve. In fact, the WEEKO Sustainable Action Programme touches, point by point, all the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda and does so through a 360° commitment: many non-profit organisations are involved in the project, with the aim of creating new opportunities for disadvantaged workers and facilitating access to digital literacy. In addition, the company plans to allocate to these entities part of the proceeds derived from the process of recovery of raw materials and their processing.
