CEP and ERM Workshop on E-waste ESG Practices and Industry Needs
Thursday October 24, 8:30 – 10:30 am
Environmental and social assurance of e-waste management practices are becoming increasingly important to OEMs that engage in the circular value chain, on par with manufacturing and forward supply chains. Some assurance standards already exist and are widely adopted and recognized throughout the industry. Nevertheless, many OEMs have additional due diligence requirements for e-waste recyclers to address corporate requirements and other known risks unique to the recycling industry.
This workshop will actively engage companies from the entire electronics value chain to discuss what evolutions in due diligence process are needed to create the collaboration, transparency and visibility pathways to enable a circular value chain. Additionally, it will analyze existing practices, and seek to outline the industry needs for next steps and full implementation.
This event is hosted by the Circular Electronics Partnership (CEP) and ERM. Attendance is prioritized to CEP members and invited guests. Register here to express interest in attending.
