Companies are facing growing pressure from customers to consider the environmental impact of their day-to-day operations, whilst current news following the large scale NHS data hack demonstrates the need for the highest possible security and data protection policies to be in place. One way to help your business to operate in a greener way, as well as more securely, is to implement on-site shredding.
Most businesses are now aware that data protection and customer confidentiality are a must, and that there are consequences if they fail to maintain high levels of security. The fines, legal action and damage to brand reputation that could be faced are enough to make any company take security seriously, and despite the fact that many businesses are now going largely digital, there is still a large volume of physical data, particularly paper documentation, that needs to be stored and disposed of securely on a regular basis.
Economic considerations and the need to streamline apply pressure on businesses across all sectors. However, this is not the only priority for mindful modern management. Corporate social responsibility is a theme for 2017 – and beyond – and that means making changes to a business to make it more sustainable and creating social, economic and environmental benefits for stakeholders. Key to this is taking responsibility for your business waste and choosing to dispose of it ethically.
