You may already know TCO Certified — the global sustainability certification for IT products. On 17 June, we’re publishing TCO Certified Cloud, a new certification for IaaS cloud resources.

For the first time, organizations can identify and select cloud services with lower environmental impact — and get access to verified sustainability data to support reporting, ensure regulatory compliance and reduce risk.

Just like TCO Certified for IT products, TCO Certified Cloud includes robust sustainability criteria and independent verification to ensure compliance and credibility.

Criteria cover four sustainability areas — climate, substances, circularity and supply chain.
The scope includes data centers, hardware business operations and supply chains.
Compliance is independently verified by accredited experts to ensure real, lasting change.
Verified sustainability data helps organizations measure, manage and report their impact.

By including TCO Certified Cloud in procurement, organizations can help drive demand for more sustainable IaaS cloud solutions — while gaining access to services with lower climate impact, stronger environmental performance and more responsible supply chains.
