Catalysing Connections - Social Impact
132,000 Human Connections Delivered in 2025
Digital exclusion still isolates more than 2.5 million Australians. Without a phone, families miss job calls, healthcare appointments and community support.
Through Catalysing Connections, TechForGood reinvests 100% of profit from Recover-E into free phones and connectivity for people who need it most.
In 2025, this created 132,000 Human Connections — 13% of our goal to reach 1 million by 2030. These connections represent restored dignity and access for women returning to work, families in crisis, and Indigenous rangers protecting Country.

Carbon Neutral - Environmental Impact
Carbon Neutral ICT Supply Chain
In 2025, TechForGood maintained Carbon Neutral Certification through NetNada, going beyond our own footprint to offset the full carbon impact of the technology we supply to clients.
That means every server, laptop and peripheral purchased through TechForGood was backed by verified carbon credits — ensuring that our clients’ technology procurement contributed to measurable climate outcomes. Together, we neutralised both our operational emissions and the embodied emissions of all hardware sold, creating Australia’s first truly carbon-neutral ICT supply chain.
We neutralised 306.47 tonnes of CO₂-e through verified Gold Standard, VCS, and CAR projects across Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey — each delivering both environmental and community benefits.
Key Projects:
Bangladesh – Titas Gas Leak Repair
Methane sealed at source, improving safety and reducing emissions.
Indonesia – Katingan Mentaya Peatland
149,800 hectares protected; orangutan habitat preserved.
Mexico – Sierra de Agua Forest Management
Indigenous-led stewardship and biodiversity protection.
Turkey – Istanbul Landfill Gas Recovery
Methane-to-energy project generating 51 MW of renewable power.
