ER2 has always known that to stand out, we need to focus not so much on what we do, but how we do it, and how we can have a positive impact on those we serve. So we’re pretty proud and excited to have achieved e-Stewards®️ certification at all eight of our locations, providing a high level of ITAD services across the country. 

Founded in 2011 and specializing in innovative technology lifecycle solutions, ER2 operates at locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Tennessee and Texas, and has become the first to achieve the distinction of e-Stewards certification in these states. This is the above-and-beyond thinking that truly makes our company stand out.

“Our clients want peace of mind when disposing of their end-of-life IT assets,” said Chris Ko, CEO and Co-Founder of ER2. “They need to be confident that their vendor of choice handles their ITAD data and hardware without compromising privacy or the environment. Being e-Stewards Certified provides that confidence. We are proud to have the e-Stewards name attached to our brand.”

Why should this matter to our customers? The e-Stewards Certification requires the highest standard for ethical and responsible processing, including NAID AAA data destruction, safe and proper reuse of used electronic equipment, and assurance that hazardous materials are not exported to developing countries. As an e-Stewards company, ER2 serves its partners with world-class, complete IT asset management services from installation to deployment, while at its core operating to the highest socially and environmentally responsible practices. 

This assures our customers that, along with our accountability to them, we are accountable to e-Stewards to maintain this level of transparency and responsibility. We know that also reflects well on these partner companies who choose to work with us, and who also need to be accountable to their shareholders. 

And as important as how we do things is in distinguishing ER2 from others, who we are is even more important. ER2 boasts a designation as a Great Place To Work®, and has been listed as one of Inc. Magazine’s list of 5000 fastest growing companies in America for the past 5 years. Read more on their other certifications and awards here.

 “As an e-Stewards recycler, ER2 now adheres to the highest standard for safe and secure handling of your data and hardware,” said Selena Turnock, Acting e-Stewards Certification Director. “With their addition to the e-Stewards community, our mission’s footprint extends to Tennessee and Iowa and provides greater services in Arizona, Florida, Texas, and California.”

It’s been nothing short of amazing to not just achieve this standard across our company, but to be the first to achieve this in six new states across the country. It reflects our efforts to continuously improve, relentlessly pursue excellence, serve our communities, and overall do so in humility. 

See how it’s done!
