STOCKHOLM, Dec. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Today is the launch of TCO Certified generation 9, a significant next step
toward more sustainable IT products. IT purchasers get access to a wide range
of certified computers, displays and other products – proven to comply with
stricter criteria for socially responsible manufacturing, circularity and safer
chemicals.
Today's launch of TCO Certified, generation 9 [
https://tcocertified.com/generation-9/ ]intensifies global efforts for more
sustainability, accountability, and transparency in IT supply chains. Updated
sustainability criteria help purchasing organizations select the most
responsibly designed and manufactured product models, as verified by
independent experts.
"Moving toward a future where IT products are truly sustainable requires
constant improvement. TCO Certified, generation 9 deals with some of today's
most crucial sustainability challenges. Purchasers gain more influence in the
supply chain and can prove their impact," says Soren Enholm, CEO of TCO
Development, the organization behind TCO Certified.
TCO Certified, generation 9 comes with new Sustainability Performance
Indicators (SPIs). Data is gathered and is verified by independent experts
which reduces the risk of greenwash. The SPIs also help organizations make more
informed purchasing decisions and measure the true sustainability impact of
their IT products.
Updated social responsibility criteria require transparency about which
sub-suppliers manufacturers use, allowing purchasing organizations to get their
voice further into the supply chain. Criteria for safer chemicals are expanded
to also cover process chemicals. This helps purchasers protect the health and
safety of workers.
Generation 9 also builds on the progress of previous generations to enable
circular IT solutions, now with more ambitious criteria aimed at extending the
life of IT products and reducing e-waste.
"Purchasers specifying TCO Certified in procurement get access to brand new
ways of influencing their supply chains, and the impact is measurable. More and
more purchasers demand sustainably manufactured IT products and we've already
seen a great interest in TCO Certified, generation 9," Soren Enholm concludes.
The first certified products will be presented at a digital launch event today
[
], and are listed at TCO Development's Product Finder [
