Stockholm (Feb. 22, 2018)<\/em> \u2014 AV buyers will now have an easier time to make more sustainable choices as market leader Epson is the latest to achieve the TCO Certified designation for 45 of their professional projector models.<\/p>\n

TCO Certified is the world\u2019s leading sustainability certification for IT products. Certified products are independently verified to meet comprehensive environmental and social criteria throughout their life cycle. For projectors, criteria for high image quality are also included.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be no compromise between sustainability and product performance. A high-quality display image is vital for projectors. It can influence productivity and extend the usable life of a product which also creates sustainability benefits,\u201d said Niclas Rydell, director at TCO Development.<\/p>\n

The demand for more sustainable IT products is growing. A recent study by IT infrastructure supplier Atea shows that 74 percent of the IT buyers in the Nordic region consider sustainability as a very high or fairly high priority issue. TCO Development has driven progress within this field since 1992, with more than 2,800 product models currently certified. With Epson now joining Casio in certifying projectors, purchasers demanding more sustainable AV products have a lot more to choose from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith TCO Certified, brand owners must implement socially responsible working conditions in the factories where certified products are made and are held accountable for correcting any non-conformities. Buyers can be confident that positive change will follow in the supply chain,\u201d Rydell added.<\/p>\n

Epson\u2019s commitment to TCO Certified is part of a strategy aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of their products and working proactively to protect human rights.<\/p>\n

Henning Ohlsson, director of Corporate Social Responsibility at Epson, noted, \u201cWe have long seen how TCO Certified drives sustainability in the IT industry and we\u2019re delighted that AV buyers can now also rely on the certification to verify that the Epson projectors they buy are manufactured in a socially responsible way.\u201d<\/p>\n
