First servers for data centers certified for sustainability
PR88939
STOCKHOLM, Apr. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Like other IT products, data center products come with social and
environmental challenges. With Hewlett Packard Enterprise taking the lead, the
first servers are now certified according to the rigorous sustainability
criteria in TCO Certified.
TCO Certified [https://tcocertified.com] is the global leading sustainability
certification for IT products. With environmental and social criteria, TCO
Certified covers the full lifecycle of the product, including supply chain
responsibility, hazardous substances, and circular criteria promoting. This
life-cycle approach results in more circular products available for buyers.
Organizations increasingly demand IT products that are more sustainable. The
challenge for most purchasers is to verify that sustainability claims made by
the IT brands for their products actually are correct. With TCO Certified,
independent verification is not optional, it is always included. Compliance
with all criteria is independently verified throughout the life of the
certificate ensuring that consumers and professional purchasers are given
accurate, comparable information.
"Annually more than 20,000 hours are spent verifying products as well as the
factories where they're made according to the criteria in TCO Certified. We
know that a mere self-declaration is not enough to drive change — product
testing at independent test laboratories and factory inspections by independent
auditors are critical," says Sören Enholm, CEO of TCO Development, the
organization behind TCO Certified.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the first brand whose servers meet the tough
criteria in TCO Certified for data center products.
"We expect more brands to follow. The interest in our data center product
categories is high, both from the industry looking to apply for TCO Certified
for their products, and from the purchasing community asking for products with
independently verified sustainability claims," continues Soren Enholm.
"In our Product Finder [https://tcocertified.com/product-finder/], you can
search for certified products and have access to data backing the
sustainability of those products. Our new Product Watcher functions also make
it easy for buyers to track sustainability measures and product categories of
interest," says Sören Enholm.
Toward sustainable IT products
With over 25 years of experience, TCO Certified is the world-leading
sustainability certification for IT products. Our comprehensive criteria are
designed to drive social and environmental responsibility throughout the
product life cycle. Covering 11 product categories including displays,
computers and mobile devices, compliance is independently verified, both pre-
and post-certification.
