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.
Wide choice of certified products from the brands you know
At our Product Finder, you can find thousands of products certified to TCO Certified, generation 8 or 9. For each certified product model, the certificate serves as proof of compliance that can be traced back to an independent verifier’s signature.
