Wisetek expands e-Stewards certification to international sites

Wisetek, a global information technology asset disposal (ITAD) and data destruction service provider based in Hyattsville, Maryland, has announced that it will be extending its e-Stewards certification for the company globally. Wisetek’s sites in the United States are certified and its international sites will be within the next two years, according to a company news release.

Additional Wisetek facilities that will be committed to the certification standard include sites in Dublin and Cork, Ireland; Reading, United Kingdom; and Sriracha, Thailand. 

Wisetek says it has chosen e-Stewards certification to maintain alignment with its standing goal of providing the most responsible and ethical standard for ITAD services to its many multinational clients. These new global facilities will join Wisetek's existing U.S. e-Stewards certified sites in Maryland, Massachusetts, California and Texas.

“Wisetek's ethics and culture ensure that we do not compromise on environmental and social responsibility anywhere we do business," says Sean Sheehan, CEO of Wisetek.  "Over the years, e-Stewards has emerged as the industry gold standard consistent with that aim and this new agreement reflects our acknowledgment and honor of that standing."

“We are very excited to be part of the growth trajectory of a company with the deservedly excellent reputation of Wisetek," adds Jim Puckett, founder of the Basel Action Network (BAN), which operates the e-Stewards program.  "We're gratified that they have done the analysis and concluded that among the various standards and partners out there, e-Stewards is their choice to foster their requirements for ethics and excellence."
