GEC 参加 2024 年电子峰会
SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP: NEXT GENERATION EPEAT ECOLABEL CRITERIA AND STAKEHOLDER SUPPLY CHAIN PERSPECTIVES
Wednesday • October 23 • 2:00 – 3:45 pm CT
Join the Global Electronics Council (GEC) at the eSustainability Summit for a special session where we will introduce the next-generation EPEAT® ecolabel criteria. Launching in 2025, these new criteria will set the market expectation for the sustainability of ICT products in four priority areas: climate change, circularity, chemicals, and responsible supply chains.
This session is a unique opportunity for industry professionals to gain early insight into the updated criteria and hear directly from stakeholders across the ICT supply chain. Whether you are a purchaser, supplier, or recycler, you’ll learn how these changes will impact your sustainability goals and operational practices.
