Making sustainable technology easier to understand
Lenovo joins the EPEAT 2.0 initiative, offering clearer sustainability standards for technology products to help organizations make informed purchasing decisions.
The useful question is what changes for users, developers or buyers, and whether the announcement stays industry context or becomes something people can actually use.
Lenovo has been named an EPEAT 2.0 Launch Partner, supporting updated global sustainability standards for electronics. The new criteria address climate change mitigation, circularity, and responsible supply chains. EPEAT provides a consistent framework for comparing products, replacing individual environmental claims with verified assessments. This move aims to enhance transparency and encourage industry-wide improvements in sustainability practices.
The EPEAT 2.0 standard reflects evolving sustainability expectations in technology, replacing earlier versions with stricter, more relevant criteria. Organizations evaluating electronics can now rely on a single, trusted reference point for environmental performance. Lenovo’s participation aligns with its long-standing focus on responsible technology across design, manufacturing, and recycling. The company emphasizes lifecycle transparency to support customer decision-making.
Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group, highlighted the importance of credible standards and practical action. He stated that Lenovo’s role as an EPEAT 2.0 Launch Partner reinforces its commitment to transparent product information and sustainable innovation. The initiative supports Lenovo’s broader vision of making technology more accessible and environmentally responsible for all users.
Businesses, governments, and institutions increasingly prioritize sustainability alongside performance and cost when selecting technology. Independent standards like EPEAT simplify comparisons by providing clear, consistent data on environmental impact. Lenovo’s support for EPEAT 2.0 builds on ongoing efforts to improve sustainability visibility and accountability in its products and services.
