TCO Certified helps reduce environmental, social, and compliance risks connected to IT products and their supply chains.
The criteria address key risk areas, including climate impact, hazardous substances, limited circularity, and risks related to both working conditions and environmental impact in supply chains. By requiring that compliance with all criteria is independently verified, TCO Certified helps organizations avoid relying on unverified claims.
This reduces the risk of non-compliance with regulations, as well as exposure to greenwashing and bluewashing. It also helps organizations avoid supply chain disruptions, reputational damage, and unexpected costs linked to unsustainable practices.
