As sustainability grows, reporting has become a popular method of tracking environmental impact and carbon output. ESG reporting is a value-added service many companies utilize to manage sustainability practices, and partnering with an IT asset disposition (ITAD) provider will help strengthen ESG goals and help reduce companies’ carbon footprint.
Electronics Recycling
The foundation of ITAD is environmentally sound e-waste disposition. IT asset disposition provides a range of end-of-use services, including electronics recycling, a key factor in achieving environmental ESG goals in the waste industry. Electronics recycling is the only environmentally friendly method of e-waste disposal that genuinely protects the environment and mitigates pollution. ITAD providers like HOBI partner with companies seeking to recycle their old, retired, or unwanted IT equipment and ensure it is disposed of properly.
Device Reuse & Donation Programs
More consumers are choosing to purchase used electronics rather than new ones. Device reuse helps support a circular economy by keeping e-waste out of the waste stream and reducing the demand for new devices to be made. Some IT assets are still in working order when they are retired, and many people still do not have access to electronics. ITAD providers offer repair and remarketing opportunities, and companies often donate their used IT assets to those without access. This helps organizations eliminate e-waste and achieve social ESG goals by serving their community.
Compliance & Certifications
Compliance is a critical practice to ensure governance ESG goals are being met, and one way to achieve compliance assurance is to maintain certifications. Certifications are pivotal in the ITAD industry, ensuring accountability and confidence in clients. They provide documented evidence that their equipment is in professional hands. Compliance is a core requirement for many businesses, especially those operating heavy machinery or processing IT equipment, and acquiring the necessary certifications helps build a trustworthy foundation for clients to rely on. Legislative compliance also shields facilities from any potential legal issues.
As an R2v3, RIOS, and ISO 14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise, HOBI prioritizes legislative compliance in every aspect of the business. Partnering with HOBI for end-of-use services will strengthen ESG goals and ensure value maximization for retired IT assets. Our repair and remarketing services help clients meet social ESG criteria and keep used assets in circulation.
