The critical role of independent verification

In this report, we navigate the sustainability risks associated with IT procurement – and the tools available to help reduce them. We look into how you as a procuring organization can drive sustainable development, avoid greenwash and prove your efforts. With a few fundamental questions, purchasers get a straightforward way to evaluate and compare ecolabels and sustainability certifications, to find out which one to use.

The report offers insights based on our experience, along with expert voices: policy officials, NGOs, scientists, factory auditors, professionals at the product test labs, and IT purchasing organizations.

Some of the key takeaways in the report

  • It is nearly impossible for a single organization to manage the many sustainability risks in IT procurement by themselves.
  • Purchasers need to know how to identify ecolabels with tough criteria, mandatory independent verification, and industry accountability.
  • Using the right ecolabel or certification saves you time and resources, reduces risks and drives progress in the IT industry.
  • Restricting bad practices isn’t enough — a structure for continuous improvement is vital, directing industry towards more sustainable alternatives.
