Retired IT Assets

Aligning Sustainable ITAD with Your 2025 ESG Strategy

As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals become central to corporate strategy, U.S. companies are under pressure to ensure that every part of their operations — including IT infrastructure — supports sustainability and ethical practices.

Yet, one area often overlooked in ESG reporting is how retired IT assets are managed. Outdated servers, laptops, and network equipment may no longer serve your business functionally, but how you dispose of or recover them can significantly impact your environmental and compliance footprint.

At Maxicom US, we help companies integrate sustainable IT asset disposition (ITAD) into their ESG strategy — turning retired IT equipment from a liability into a documented ESG achievement.


Why ITAD Matters in ESG Reporting

Environmental, Social, and Governance metrics now influence:

  • Investor decisions
  • Client partnerships
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Brand reputation

Unfortunately, many companies still handle IT disposal in a way that:

  • Contributes to e-waste
  • Violates data protection laws
  • Misses opportunities for recovery and reuse

That’s why building an ESG-aligned ITAD plan isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s a competitive advantage.


3 Core ESG Pillars Strengthened by Sustainable ITAD


1. Environmental (E): Reduce E-Waste and Carbon Impact

Every year, the U.S. generates over 6.9 million tons of electronic waste. Improper disposal contributes to:

  • Toxic landfill contamination
  • Loss of reusable raw materials
  • Increased carbon footprint due to manufacturing replacement devices

A certified ITAD program ensures:

  • Secure reuse and resale of viable devices
  • Responsible recycling through R2v3- or e-Stewards-certified partners
  • Metrics for carbon offset and landfill diversion

Maxicom US provides clients with environmental impact reports to support ESG filings and sustainability reports.


2. Social (S): Protect Data and Support Ethical Practices

Old devices may contain sensitive data. Improper handling can expose customers, employees, and vendors to risk — and violate privacy laws such as CCPA, HIPAA, or GLBA.

A sustainable ITAD strategy includes:

  • NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction
  • Chain-of-custody tracking for every asset
  • Certificates of data destruction for audit support

Additionally, refurbished assets can be donated or redirected to underserved communities — a social win that aligns with broader corporate responsibility goals.


3. Governance (G): Ensure Audit Readiness and Transparency

ESG reporting now requires verifiable data. That means your asset retirement process must be:

  • Documented
  • Auditable
  • Certified

Maxicom US delivers serialized tracking, resale documentation, destruction certificates, and environmental impact summaries — helping IT, compliance, and sustainability teams stay fully audit-ready.


How U.S. Companies Are Using ITAD to Support ESG in 2025

Top-performing organizations are taking these actions:

  • Including ITAD in procurement and refresh planning
  • Partnering with certified recyclers and reverse logistics vendors
  • Reinvesting recovered value into green IT initiatives
  • Reporting recovered weights, resale income, and CO₂ reductions in ESG reports

Example: A U.S. manufacturing firm recovered $150,000 from retired servers while diverting 8 tons of e-waste from landfill, boosting its 2025 ESG score.
