We've built Quest’s infrastructure to be fully operational, even in times of disruption caused by catastrophic events such as natural disasters or a potential outbreak such as the one we are all facing today. Our robust cloud-based IT infrastructure and powerful network has allowed us to successfully implement our Business Continuity Plan and switch to a 100% virtual environment in a matter of hours without missing a beat.

 

Our operating protocols allow for all employees to work from home, if needed, without losing access to any data, software, applications or information used in our everyday workflow to manage our customer's waste & recycling programs. In addition, we have established double redundancy for all critical functions and account management needs to ensure business continuity.

 

Quest tests its Business Continuity Plan and Emergency Response Plan every year and to ensure that everything is in place to keep managing your waste & recycling programs regardless of the escalation protocol level in place.
