- Partnership Highlights the Importance of Safely Shredding
Documents, Hard Drives and Other Forms of Physical Data
MANCHESTER, England,
Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Shred-it, a Stericycle solution and leading information security
service provider (Nasdaq: SRCL), has announced a two-year
collaboration with one of the world's greatest professional
skateboarders, Tony Hawk.
The multi-tiered, global partnership includes events, digital
and social media activations over the two-year term.
Cory White, executive vice
president and chief commercial officer at Stericycle said:
"Shred-it and Tony Hawk both
represent committed, passionate professionals at the top of their
'shred' games. We are thrilled to partner our Shred-it brand
with Tony's brand.
"As shredding pros, albeit very different types, the partnership
is a natural fit and another way to engage with residential and
business customers to highlight the important issue of protecting
personal information."
Tony Hawk is a legendary
skateboarder, entrepreneur and founder of The Skatepark Project. He
became a pro skateboarder at the age of 14, and by 16, was
considered the best competitive skateboarder on Earth. A World
Champion for 12 years in a row, he continues to skate demos,
exhibitions and competitions internationally and remains the most
recognized action sports figure in the world.
Tony said: "I'm excited to partner with the pros at Shred-it.
I've been safely shredding skate ramps for years but when it comes
to safely shredding personal information, I'm a total amateur. By
teaming up with Shred-it, we're helping to raise awareness about
the importance of physical data destruction to help protect against
identify theft."
As data protection requirements and information security best
practices continue to evolve, Shred-it works with businesses
across the UK and the world to protect what matters. In 2022 alone,
Shred-it securely shredded and recycled 454,000 tonnes of
paper — helping to safeguard both our customers' confidential
information and the environment.
