Wisetek is proud to have worked with the US Government on a number of highly-classified nuclear power research facilities to satisfy their secure IT asset disposition needs. These facilities use supercomputers which handle large volumes of sensitive data, so they’ve turned to Wisetek for our commitment to thorough and completely secure IT asset disposition using certified processes.

The modern business world has more access to data and analytics than ever before, but this benefit comes at a cost. The amount of data stored on phones, hard drives, and servers can be problematic if sensitive data is compromised or falls into the wrong hands. IT asset disposition arose to meet the needs of organizations in handling the safe and secure disposal of IT assets, and the industry is showing no signs of slowing down.

IT asset disposition companies provide more than hard drive destruction, however. They provide intangible benefits such as building trust between corporations and customers, who are increasingly wary of sharing sensitive data and the risk of data breaches. ITAD also benefits your business by protecting it against regulatory legislation on data disposal, which itself is ever-changing across many jurisdictions. Lastly, ITAD provides your organization with a sensible and sustainable approach to reducing e-waste.

Just as how large organizations have corporate social responsibility programs in place, smart organizations are also implementing IT asset disposition strategies and tying the two together. These two agendas work well in tandem due to the potential to share many common, achievable goals.

Many large organizations are increasingly coming under scrutiny for contributing to the e-waste crisis, the disastrous consequences of rare earth mining in the manufacture of computers and other devices, and child labor in developing nations. Sensible ITAD from a reputable IT asset disposition company has the power to effect positive change in all of these regards.

Ethical ITAD practices reduce e-waste, or in the case of Wisetek, eliminate it altogether with our zero-landfill policy. The need for rare earth mining is lessened due to the circular economy model and improved circulation of old and redundant IT assets. The driving factors for child labor in countries like the Philippines are also reduced or eliminated due to minimal waste. All of these factors can make your CSR strategy effective and bear tangible results.
