Returna

Returna is the ITAD orchestration platform that gives enterprises full visibility and control over every device transition, from the moment a laptop is flagged for return to its final disposition outcome. Large organisations retire thousands of IT devices every year across multiple regions, vendors, and regulatory jurisdictions. Most still manage this through spreadsheets, email threads, and fragmented vendor relationships. The result: compliance gaps, lost recovery value, and coordination overhead that scales with every new office and every new vendor. Returna replaces that patchwork with a single platform. One interface for every device retirement, regardless of region or vendor. Certified data erasure with per-device chain of custody. Automated compliance reporting across GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2. Real-time visibility into recovery value, grading, and vendor performance. And integration with the tools teams already use, including ServiceNow and Freshworks. For IT operations, Returna provides a single registration point for devices entering disposition, with automated routing to certified Return Hubs based on geography, device type, and security policy. For finance teams, every disposition has a financial outcome mapped to cost centres, categories, and invoicing workflows, with full recovery tracking per device, batch, and region. For compliance, erasure certificates, audit trails, and chain-of-custody records are generated automatically and available on demand. No more chasing vendors for documentation. For sustainability, every reuse, recycling, and recovery event is tracked and certified, with ESG metrics aligned to GRI and CSRD reporting requirements. Returna connects enterprises with a global network of certified Return Hubs that handle the physical work: collection, erasure, diagnostics, repair, and resale. The platform coordinates, documents, and reports. One orchestration layer for the entire IT asset disposition lifecycle.

Nordic Rescue Project

We are a non-profit organization that helps abandoned and neglected dogs find new loving homes in Denmark. We collaborate with dog rescue centers in Italy and promote adoptable dogs through our website where it is possible for danish residents to apply to adopt a specific dog. The adoption process is designed to help us find the best adopters for our dogs and inform and educate the applicant about what responsibility it entails to adopt a shelter dog. In collaboration with the rescue center, we match the approved applicants with the dogs. We fight to find a loving home for every single one of our dogs and we wish to create the best possible conditions to make sure that the adoption is successful for both the dog and the adopter. Each dog's background is different but it is not uncommon that they have had a hard life. For this reason, we do extensive health examinations of each dog and they will go through a socialization program before arriving in Denmark. The socialization program is tailored to the dog and the adopter and is created to teach the dog to become a family dog. After the dog's arrival, we continue to follow the development of the dog, and we are always available to provide guidance and support to our adopters.
