In the face of the rapidly escalating climate crisis, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions across all sectors, particularly in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. This pressing environmental challenge calls for immediate action from both manufacturers and consumers within the industry.
The EPEAT Climate+ certification distinguishes Philips Monitors as leader in the drive towards more sustainable electronic products. The certification process, overseen by the Global Electronics Council (GEC), requires adherence to stringent criteria that ensure products are designed and manufactured with a focus on reducing their carbon footprint and mitigating climate change. EPEAT Climate+ Champions are manufacturers who have EPEAT registered products that have attained the EPEAT Climate+ designation.
To achieve the EPEAT Climate+ designation, products must meet several key criteria, reflecting a comprehensive approach to sustainability: These criteria, developed in collaboration with a broad spectrum of stakeholders including manufacturers, scientists, policymakers, and sustainability advocates, are designed to ensure that products meet the highest industry standards for decarbonisation.
The certification not only recognises the eco-friendly design of the products but also the responsible practices of the companies behind them. Third-party verification experts approved by the GEC ensure that all required climate criteria have been met, adding a significant level of credibility to the EPEAT Climate+ designation.
It helps purchasers to quickly identify technology products that are designed and manufactured with climate change mitigation in mind, thus contributing to the collective effort to alleviate the climate crisis. Philips Monitors’ achievement empowers consumers to make informed decisions, selecting products that align with their values of environmental responsibility. For more information, please click here.
