Re:Gen Re:Gen

Empowering Kiwi students through refreshed tech

At HP we recognise the impact of digital inequity on our communities globally

We have set ourselves the ambitious goal of accelerating digital equity for 150 million people by 2030. To help make a difference to young New Zealanders affected by the digital divide, we have partnered with KidsCan, a New Zealand-based charity who provide support such as food, clothing, and health products to children affected by poverty.

Together, we’ve established HP Re:Gen, a digital equity programme, to empower Kiwi students through refreshed tech. Our goal is to provide HP laptops to secondary students ensuring they have the hardware they need to thrive at school while also helping to divert e-waste from landfill and drive circular economy outcomes in Aotearoa.

Please reach out to HPReGen@hp.com to express your interest in donating pre-loved HP Notebooks. We’d also love to hear from you if you have other non-HP devices, we can accept these and use the funds from recycling parts to pay for more refurbished HP Notebooks.

Donated units will be collected by our agency at an agreed time. We ask that you fully erase all company and personal data prior to handing over. Remove any BIOS passwords and assignment to a Management service (Autopilot). Our agency will go through a full secure erase and testing process before they are then packaged up and sent off to a KidsCan partner school.

Full reporting measures will accompany this programme for both HP and our contributing customers/partners. We will provide a report of where donated devices have gone, detailing the digital equity and sustainability impacts that your organisations devices have achieved. If any devices are unable to be refurbished then you will be notified if parts are on sold to help contribute funds to the HP Re:Gen programme. If your organisation requires specific information to be captured, we can work with KidsCan and our agency to see if this is available. Please contact HPReGen@hp.com.

We want as many people as possible to know about this programme and to get involved once we launch in 2025 (we are currently only in pilot). We do ask if you are including information about the programme in sales/marketing materials, annual reports or on your organisations website for instance to please contact HPReGen@hp.com so we are aware and can provide necessary information and assets.

HP aims to be the world’s most sustainable and just tech company - taking urgent action to combat climate change, protect human rights, and accelerate digital equity. As part of this HP New Zealand has been involved in a number of sustainable impact initiatives over the years including:

TechCollect partner – New Zealand’s first free dedicated e-waste recycling service which has collection points in Noel Leeming and Warehouse Stationery stores

HP Planet Partners, an end-of-life programme for equipment and printing supplies, allows HP to recycle and repurpose HP products once customers are finished with them. Reusing the valuable materials in these products reduces the need for raw material extraction, conserving natural resources and contributing to a circular economy

HP New Zealand staff are allocated four volunteer hours per month to use for volunteer activities of their choice, this has included supporting Keep NZ Beautiful, Conservation Volunteers NZ, Kiwi Harvest and Everybody Eats

Member of the Digital Boost Alliance Aotearoa which aims to motivate and inspire businesses, communities and individuals to lift their use and knowledge of digital technology

HP’s diverse and inclusive community of employees is one of its greatest strengths. The New Zealand Business Resource Groups help HP to create a workplace where employees can belong, innovate and grow

HP has provided donations to Life Education Trust Far North to help with digital upgrades to its mobile classroom

Thanks for reaching out to us, we greatly appreciate you considering aligning with HP New Zealand on this event/fundraiser. Currently our sponsorship and donation commitments have already been made for the year as part of our HP Re:Gen programme in partnership with KidsCan to empower Kiwi students through refreshed tech. Apologies that we are unable to assist at this time.
