AfB DE Affiliate Program AfB (Work for People with Disabilities) gGmbH is Europe's largest non-profit IT company with headquarters in Ettlingen, Germany. With the collection, destruction of data, processing and re-marketing of disused IT hardware, AfB creates jobs for people with disabilities and at the same time helps to save environmental resources. AfB employs 500 people at 20 locations in Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland and Slovakia, 45% of them with disabilities. The aim of the AfB Group is to give 500 people with disabilities across Europe a job that is subject to social security contributions. The AfB concept is based on long-term partnerships with more than 1,000 companies , banks, insurance companies and public institutions. The IT refurbisher has been taking over IT and mobile devices that are no longer required for over 16 years, irrevocably deleting the data they contain, upgrading them, installing new software and selling them mainly to private individuals, non-profit institutions and schools in the AfB shops or online shops Germany , Austria , Switzerland, France , Slovakia and AfB Campus. AfB customers benefit from "green" notebooks in refurbished business quality with a guarantee of at least 12 months. By refurbishing used hardware, we save electricity and CO2, reduce the use of resources and avoid electronic waste. Hardware that is no longer marketable is dismantled and recycled under the highest ecological and ethical standards, which means that new raw materials are produced in Europe. In 2020, AfB processed 472,000 used IT devices from companies and public clients and was able to re-market 68% of them and thus put them into a new cycle of use. Compared to the new production, the IT refurbisher and its partners (e.g. Siemens, Otto, REWE) have saved the consumption of more than 300 million liters of water, 170,400 MWh of energy, 24,700 tons of raw materials and the emission of 43,200 tons of CO2. Greenhouse gas emissions have been shown to contribute to global warming. The indicator for this is the Global Warming Potential (GWP). A beech tree has to grow for around 80 years to absorb one ton of CO2. More information can be found here.
