The Global Electronics Council (GEC) is a mission-driven nonprofit organization that promotes sustainable technology by leveraging the power of purchasers. GEC manages the EPEAT ecolabel, which is a free resource for procurement professionals to identify and select more sustainable products. They believe that technology is an essential aspect of our lives, but it comes at a price, consuming unsustainable amounts of natural resources and contributing to climate change. GEC works with institutional purchasers and electronics brands to drive the demand for more sustainable electronics and reduce harmful impacts on people and the planet.
GEC has been audited and recognized for meeting international standards for ecolabels, and their Conformity Assurance Body has received accreditation. They provide resources, such as webinars and purchaser guides, to help promote sustainable electronics and decarbonize technology. Through their efforts, they have made significant impacts in terms of sustainable products purchased, energy savings, greenhouse gas reduction, and cost savings. GEC is dedicated to creating a world where only sustainable technology is bought and sold.
