From goals to action – inside the TCO Certified Roadmap
What we need is clear, actionable direction that supports both brands and purchasers in driving long-term sustainability.
Why audits fail to drive change (and what to do about it)
IT factories and brands cater to global customers. It is up to us, who buy their products, to demonstrate that sustainability is important.
How compliance with social criteria is verified in TCO Certified
A structured system with independent verification, follow-up, incentives and accountability is crucial for successfully driving social sustainability.
“Working together helps purchasers impact the supply chain”
Criteria in TCO Certified hold the IT industry accountable for working conditions in the supply chain of certified products.
IT industry welcomes dialog for improved sustainability
Our annual assessment process helps the IT industry address complex supply chain issues and offers guidance for a more sustainable path.
Increased transparency turns sustainability into good business
An incentive system in TCO Certified helps accelerate the development toward fair working conditions in the IT industry.
Report Generator (beta) helps you measure your sustainability impact
The web tool Report Generator presents verified data about certified products and helps organizations measure their sustainability impact.
How worker rights can help leverage the circular transition
Circular solutions help us tackle many of today’s sustainability issues, but a shortcoming is that it lacks a focus on social issues.
Mandatory reporting and incentives lower environmental risk
TCO Certified ensures that the environmental impact is measured, and that environmental and energy management systems are implemented.
Monitoring and accountability drive socially responsible manufacturing
TCO Certified includes a structured system for continuous improvements, along with strict monitoring to ensure problems are solved.
