The Truth About Tech

Why Buy From TechForGood? 

Because the tech you rely on quietly trashes the planet and most vendors pretend it doesn’t. We don’t. 

At TechForGood, we believe in calling it like it is. The digital world might feel clean, but the environmental cost of technology is massive and largely invisible. Most IT resellers won’t tell you this. 

We will. 

The Truth About Tech 

Let’s be honest. Tech isn’t “clean” just because it’s digital: 

  • A single laptop emits ~150 kg CO₂ per year
  • One AI model training run? Up to 50,000 kg CO₂
  • Cloud storage, video meetings, emails, Slack messages - they all quietly generate emissions
  • The average business network is a digital smog machine wrapped in a carbon-heavy supply chain 

 

And that’s before it even reaches your desk. 

The global IT industry is now responsible for 2–3% of all greenhouse gas emissions on par with the aviation industry. 

What TechForGood Does Differently 

We're Australia’s only full-stack IT reseller that bakes carbon accountability into every transaction and doesn’t charge you a cent for it. 

We commit: 
👉 0.4% of every dollar you spend to buying verified, high-quality carbon offsets. 
👉 All projects are certified, real, and frequently Australian or Asia-Pacific based, not vague or unverifiable. 

That means: 

For every $100,000, we offset 16 tonnes of CO₂, You neutralise the impact of:

107 laptops

12 cloud servers

4 million Zoom calls

Or half an AI training run 

No need to choose between performance and the planet. 
You get both, by default. 

Your Spend = Tangible Impact 

Your Spend 

Carbon Offset 

What It Cancels Out 

$10,000 

1.6 tonnes 

11 laptops, 1 VM, or 160,000 Zoom hours 

$100,000 

16 tonnes 

107 laptops, 12 VMs, or 1,000+ mobile devices 

$250,000 

40 tonnes 

267 laptops, 30 servers, 8 million printed pages 

So Why TechForGood? 

Because you: 

  • Care about what your purchasing enables
  • Want a measurable, not mythical sustainability story
  • Like working with a team who tells it like it is (no greenwashing, no BS)
  • Want your IT budget to do good, not just buy stuff 

 

We're a B Corp and certified Social Enterprise. We reinvest 50% of net profit into our Catalysing Connections initiative, helping close the digital divide by donating devices and data to marginalised communities. 

You’re not just offsetting your impact; you’re actively enabling digital inclusion and climate resilience. 

Buy Tech. Offset Damage. Brag Responsibly.

At TechForGood, every sale subtracts carbon from the atmosphere. 
Other resellers just subtract it from your budget. 

So the next time you’re replacing laptops or refreshing your cloud infrastructure, ask yourself: 
What is your purchase power? 

If the answer isn’t “planet-positive impact, then it’s time to switch suppliers.
