Webinar: Presenting the first draft of TCO Certified, generation 9

With this webinar you get a run-through of what’s new in the first draft of TCO Certified, generation 9, and how this draft compares to the current generation.

Even though the development process is ongoing, some focus areas in the next generation of TCO Certified are clear:

We will take the next step in socially responsible manufacturing and go further up the supply chain than the final assembly factory. Criteria for anti-corruption and mineral sourcing will be improved.

We move forward to enable circular IT solutions with more ambitious criteria aimed at extending the life of IT products, improving recyclability, and reducing e-waste.

In consideration to factory worker’s health and safety, process chemicals will be included in our work with hazardous substances.

New sustainability performance indicators (SPI) are added. This helps purchasing organizations make informed choices and measure the sustainability impact.

During the webinar, we go through the timeline for the development process, and look at all eight chapters in the draft criteria documents. Our criteria development team explain the new and updated criteria, to help you understand how the draft compares to the current generation of TCO Certified.

This webinar is mainly aimed at those familiar with criteria in TCO Certified and with an interest in the technical development of TCO Certified.
