QEHS Policy

QUALITY, ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY

For example, in 2016, Morgan Stanley was fined $1 million by the SEC for failing to adequately protect customer data during the decommissioning of its data centers. The SEC found that Morgan Stanley had not properly vetted its IT asset disposal vendor, which ultimately led to the loss of sensitive information.

 

In addition to regulatory fines and legal liabilities, improper disposal of e-waste can also harm the environment and pose a health risk to individuals. Electronic devices often contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals that can leach into soil and water, leading to environmental contamination and negative health impacts. In recent years, several major companies, including Dish Network and AT&T, have been fined millions of dollars for improper disposal of electronic waste.
