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. Our structured approach helps you reach sustainability targets faster.

Hazardous substances

System for safer chemicals expands from product to production

Our ground-breaking system for safer substances is expanded to also cover process chemicals. This protects the health and safety of workers, reduces environmental risk, and helps IT brands make informed choices on chemical use.

Sustainability data that you can trust

Enabling data-driven decision making and sustainability reporting

More than 40 new Sustainability Performance Indicators (SPIs) are added. All gathered data is verified by independent experts. This helps IT brands measure their sustainability progress and compare with peers.

Circular IT management

Extending the life of IT products and reducing e-waste

We help the IT industry move toward circular business models and credibly communicate sustainability benefits to purchasers. Criteria are aimed at extending the life of IT products, improving recyclability, and reducing e-waste.

Benchmarking functionality now available in TCO Certified Portal

The benchmarking system is now live and accessible in TCO Certified Portal for brand owners with certified products. The system is based on the more than 40 Sustainable Performance Indicators included in TCO Certified, generation 9.

This new function has the potential to assist brand owners to spot areas where they are performing well, or where they are falling behind the competition. It will also allow brand owners to track progress of certified products, and to benchmark SPI results against industry averages for certified products, both on a brand and product level.

Please contact Hannes Mäki Certification Developer and responsible for the benchmarking system with any questions.

Data is anonymous

You will only be able to view specific SPI data for certified products from your brand. All data from other brands are anonymous. No information can be traced to a specific brand or product model.
