The issue we want to solve

IT manufacturing is linked to several environmental concerns, such as substantial greenhouse gas emissions, excessive consumption of natural resources, air and soil pollution, and waste generation. Without structured management systems, factories may lack effective processes to address these challenges systematically.

How the criterion works

Final assembly factories and display panel factories with certified products must follow the internationally recognized standards ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO50001 (energy management). This way, we ensure that factories have structured processes for driving continuous improvements for reducing their environmental impact, improving energy efficiency, and complying with environmental regulations.

Benefits for IT buyers and users

By specifically asking for certified products, buyers support a systematic approach to environmental improvements. It helps you identify products with lower emissions, improved resource management, and a smaller environmental footprint.
