A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
The organization that collects our used computer and electronic equipment (Atelier coup de main - http://www.coupdemain.ca/) adheres to our Policy on the acquisition of goods and services and on the awarding of construction contracts.
It is audited each year by our campus’s sustainable procurement advisor. She reviews its environmental and labour practices (health and safety) as well as the computer security procedures its follows when removing data from computer equipment for subsequent reuse.
