Domino’s Pizza Enterprises (Domino’s) is committed to helping make the world a better place and is proud to share the Company has donated unused computer monitors, laptops and other technology materials to LiteHaus International to help spark brighter, more connected futures for those in rural and remote communities across Australia.

LiteHaus International, an Australian registered charity, is committed to transforming e-waste into opportunities that bridge the digital divide. With many students across remote regions of the country having a lack of access to technology materials, closing the gap by providing unused technology to those who would otherwise go without helps future leaders improve their employability.

Domino’s, which already supports rural and remote communities through the work of the Company’s registered charity, Give for Good, is proud to have donated unused or excess technology equipment to LiteHaus International, with these materials going towards helping young Australians have greater access to education and other opportunities.

The work of LiteHaus International also reduces the amount of e-waste ending up in landfill, and with e-waste responsible for 70 per cent of the toxic chemicals found in landfill, Domino’s ANZ CEO David Burness said the Company was proud to give its technology a chance to help others while reducing technological waste in the process.

“With Domino’s operating stores across Australia, from big cities to regional towns, we are committed to giving back to the communities in which we operate. LiteHaus International does an incredible job in providing technological resources and equipment to bridge the divide with those who might otherwise go without, while also having a positive impact on the environment.

“Through Domino’s registered charity, Give for Good, we already connect and support many Australians in rural and remote areas, and we are proud to continue this work through this donation to LiteHaus International.

“It is inspiring to know we are providing tools to help future leaders in remote communities, and that more families and young people can now be connected to opportunities that are thousands of kilometres away through a click of a button thanks to our support of LiteHaus International,” said Mr Burness.

With LiteHaus International having distributed more than 3,000 devices across Australia, the organisation has helped to divert over 30,000 kilograms of devices from ending up in landfill.

“We are delighted to partner with Domino’s to provide more tools and opportunities for those in remote Australia to learn. Thanks to the support of companies like Domino’s, we have seen students in rural and remote parts of Australia enrol in online university degrees, apply for jobs that allow them to work virtually and access online health platforms, all while staying in their own community - none of which would be possible without a digital device.”

Domino’s will be donating excess or unused technology equipment to LiteHaus International each quarter as part of an ongoing commitment to give functioning devices a second lease on life, reduce the amount of e-waste going into landfill, and help provide more opportunities for remote community members to succeed.
