International Eco-label - TCO Certified

What

What is TCO Certified?

TCO Certified is an international sustainability certification for IT products, originally introduced by the Swedish Federation of Professional Employees (TCO) and currently managed by TCO Development. It is a comprehensive solution that covers the entire product lifecycle, including environmental and social responsibility. TCO Certified requires independent verification of compliance. When global buyers require products to be TCO Certified, an independent review is conducted based on established standards for each product category, while manufacturers are required to assume greater social responsibility.

TCO Certified aims to drive social and environmental sustainability throughout the product lifecycle. To ensure continuous progress, TCO Development releases a new generation of TCO Certified every three years. This pushes products toward greater sustainability and ensures alignment with the latest technological developments.
