The Ethical Computing Project CIC exists to promote ethical technology — not as an abstract ideal, but as a practical reality for organisations and individuals who are ready to make a change.
We are formally committed, as a Community Interest Company, to benefiting the communities of Norwich and Norfolk — and beyond. That commitment shapes everything we do.
Keeping Money Local
Redirecting technology spending away from large proprietary corporations and towards local suppliers, open source communities, and sustainable technology providers.
Environmental Sustainability
Promoting software that runs on older hardware, supporting repairability, and advocating for suppliers who are genuinely transparent about their environmental impact. Every device that stays out of landfill is a small victory.
Right to Repair
Working with local repair cafes and community initiatives to extend the life of technology and reduce waste.
Privacy and Data Protection
Helping organisations understand their data obligations and choose tools that respect privacy by design — not as an afterthought. Your data should belong to you, not to a corporation headquartered thousands of miles away.
Hands-On Support
Providing real IT consultancy and guidance to help organisations make more ethical choices in how they source, use, and manage their technology.
Education and Advice
Helping individuals, businesses, charities, and local government understand their options when it comes to open source software, sustainable hardware, and privacy-respecting technology.
Community Engagement
Delivering workshops, events, and drop-in sessions that promote digital inclusion and bring ethical IT into the mainstream.
Technology should work for people. That is what we are here to demonstrate.
