HCL eSafe : Join us in making a safe tomorrow

HCL's drive for Customer Awareness



Internal audit reports on the quantity of e-waste collected and recycled.

All e-waste that is created in our factories is stored safely and handed over to our recycler. The plants maintain a monthly e-waste report with the amount of e-waste generated and recycled.

In total, 32,412 kg of e-waste was generated at our factory locations in 2007 and 20,360 kg was generated in 2006. HCL Infosystems receives destruction certificates from the recycling agency for each consignment
