The next step toward sustainable IT products

Getting to truly sustainable IT products is a journey of continuous improvement in environmental and social responsibility. With TCO Certified generation 9 we take critical next steps along this pathway. Updates and changes are made in several criteria areas.

Socially responsible manufacturing

Bringing transparency further into the supply chain

We require transparency about sub-suppliers, take the next step in combating corruption and include stricter criteria on responsible mineral sourcing.

Hazardous substances

System for safer chemicals expands from product to production

Only allowing safer substances in the production process helps protect the health and safety of workers, and reduces the environmental risk.

Sustainability data that you can trust

Enabling data-driven decision making and sustainability reporting

To increase transparency around certified products, more than 40 new Sustainability Performance Indicators (SPIs) are added. Gathered data is verified by independent experts.

Circular IT management

Extending the life of IT products and reducing e-waste

Circular criteria help purchasers lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce e-waste and maximize the value of IT investments. Products must be designed for a long life.
