Case Study: Global Technology Company advances circular economy compliance with ERM

Global Technology Company executes 130+ e-waste audits in 30+ countries with ERM

A global technology company faced the challenge of managing e-waste and ensuring responsible practices across its reverse supply chain vendors. It sought to move beyond basic compliance to drive a progressive circular economy agenda. The company engaged Environmental Resources Management (ERM) to develop and implement a framework to assess vendor performance and build a more sustainable system.

ERM stabilized the client's existing e-waste program and used it as a foundation for a global circular economy initiative. The solution involved ERM implementing a comprehensive audit program, executing over 130 audits annually in more than 30 countries, and managing corrective actions. This provided the governance and oversight needed for the client to realize its circularity vision, creating business resiliency and enabling tracking of KPIs for its sustainability reporting.
