Growing purchaser demand for more sustainable electronics has contributed to Fairphone 4 being the first product model certified according to TCO Certified, generation 8 for smartphones.
With TCO Certified, purchasing organizations have a direct effect on the most important sustainability challenges connected to electronics — such as climate, circular economy, hazardous substances, and supply chain responsibility. Compliance with all criteria is mandatory and independently verified by accredited experts, both before and after a certificate is issued.
Benefits of asking for TCO Certified:
- Robust criteria that cover both environmental and social aspects.
- Independent verification of compliance is mandatory.
- A system of ongoing monitoring and follow-up that holds the industry accountable.
TCO Certified is free to use for purchasing organizations and covers IT product categories such as computers, mobile devices, display products, data center products – and now smartphones. Currently, around 3500 product models from major brands are certified.
